Hate when they do this sh*t and put ppl out of a job without notice. Corporate probably had plans to close the base for months but doesnt care enought to give the crew a heads up.

Just how few calls does it take before your base gets eyeballed?  Obviously depends on different costs but 10 flights a month? 20 30?

No heads up because people might leave and the base needs to be staffed until the last day.

Here's my experience from a couple of years ago. At morning shift change the managers (Area, RAM, RAD) showed up and informed the outgoing/ incoming crews that the base was being shut down immediately. They then called as many off duty crews as the could for a conference call. Informed them. Told everyone they were off for the next two weeks with pay. Gave everyone a list of open positions nationwide. Told us to pick something in the next two weeks. If after two weeks if you hadn't selected a new position you were let go.  Everyone gathered their stuff and went home. A relief pilot came in a couple of days later and flew the aircraft away. Only about half of all the med crews/pilots from the base remained with AMC.

Topic of the best flying job, someone would pipe up and say EMS. The reason given was being home every night. I don't hear those guys piping up anymore.

Just don't relocate near your work unless it's an established hospital based program.
