RaukDemus Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 $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? https://jobs.jobvite.com/ornge/job/ogtmjfw8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwingWing Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 $70-77,000 First officer. Seems legit. Bet they don’t work much, 3-4 days a week, just guessing. 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain salary varies greatly with tenure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaukDemus Posted April 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 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. https://helijobs.net/2022/04/repost-contract-aw139-spifr-nvg-public-service-pilot-australia-2/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click4u Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 This could be the reason why 6 pilots quit and now Orange is scrambling to find drivers.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM119 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 It’s Canada, the only constant in this industry is the stagnant pay scale lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Pilot Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Pilot Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 From the last CBA. FYI on captain salary at Ornge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipspeed Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 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.

Trudashian Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 I know guys making $140K+ a year flying a 44. Then again you have to get your hands dirty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
