AW139 IFR NVG HEMS Salary?!?

[RaukDemus]

$70,000 to fly an AW139 IFR/NVG for emergency medical services? Is it just me or is that insanely low? That sounds like the salary for flying winery tours in a Jetranger. Am I missing something?

$70-77,000 First officer.  Seems legit.  Bet they don’t work much,  3-4 days a week, just guessing.

That’s first officer salary and pretty par for course.  Captain salary varies greatly with tenure.

Oh ok, There must be a massive bump when you upgrade to captain. I have heard guys saying they are making 130-140, I didn't think that making captain would basically double your salary. Or are you only making that after like 10 years as captain?

I have seen a couple ads for AW139 overseas with salaries up in the 180-190's. Its crazy how different the pay can be for essentially the same job. This job down in Australia is paying 184,000.

This could be the reason why 6 pilots quit and now Orange is scrambling to find drivers....

It’s Canada, the only constant in this industry is the stagnant pay scale lol

If you see a job paying even half that for winery tours let me know!

My dad was paid more flying in the 80s than most jobs pay now. Pretty sad

From the last CBA. FYI on captain salary at Ornge

It would be 70k base salary before any overtime. I don’t think anyone is making less than $85k-90 a year with a fixed schedule and 3 weeks off a year to start as an FO + benefits and pension.

I know guys making $140K+ a year flying a 44. Then again you have to get your hands dirty.
