Talk about low balling pilots.  Make more flying a B206 VFR in the GOM and other HAA gigs.  Have you seen the cost of living down there?

They seem to be betting on getting a retired military pilot. Certainly can't make it with that income alone down there.

There's 2 HAA S76C+ operators in S FL. Which both are looking. Which one did you talk with?

That would be PHI Health at Nicklaus Children's Hospital.  Pretty certain they fly 2 Pilot IFR though.

For food stamps & yes SPIFR in a old beat up S76C+ for $91k with a raise in the works up to 93k.  Still yes, AW139 coming soon for chicken feed pay of the same.

They have an expression in Florida, you pay for sunshine. That means the pay sucks. In almost any profession other than medical care. You know it's bad when you fly a 76 in the keys and your housing option is living on your boat.

PHI Air Medical currently deducts 1% off the top of your pay in Miami.  Good luck with that!

I would consider it but my liver probably would not like it nor do I like the location.  A nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there.

guys with a double income (retirement) apply for those...yeah you can work the GOM in a 407 for more than that VFR.....Monroe Co you are talking about....the sheriff there put a cap on the pay for the pilots, since the Road Deputies filed a Grievance on the pay for pilots making more than them couple years ago, so there is a cap...OH and the Co. there will put you on 3yr Training Contract...if you leave within that time, you pay them pay pro rate what you worked...I have the paperwork on that, and said No Way...but the country will enforce it....

floats the boat.  Good for one, may suck for the other.  Good thing is the helicopter industry has it all.

Find an online inflation calculator and do reverse checks on the value of 91k now versus any year past.  Definitely an eye opener.  My highest corporate was 210k in 1999.  Check it out, makes a good tool.  Not gonna mention my lowest annual income, it was low.
