I've worked at a base that's exactly as described above for close to six years now. You're not going to change their lazy mindset or their poor work ethic, and it's not your responsibility to do so. Unless you're an incompetent pilot, it's generally not personal. They're not going to be held accountable but will be paid regardless, and same goes for you. Document EVERYTHING, chill out, and move on. If that's an arrangement you can work with, it makes for a pretty easy job and schedule. If it bothers you to the point that you can't get over it, put up with it long enough while you build those fixed-wing hours on the side, and move on. I, myself, had enough a couple weeks ago. I was looking at weather and fuel availability along the route after having received a flight request. The flight nurse had his head over my shoulder rattling off incorrect weather data that was over two hours old from some random app on his phone. Not sure why that particular occurrence stood out to me, as that's pretty common at our base. But it did. It was the final straw that pushed me toward airline or charter work. I going to miss the cushy schedule, but I'm not going to miss the medical folks or the overwhelmingly toxic aspects of their culture at all.
