Loving the 2k retention pay. That is a whopping 10 bucks a shift! After taxes and deductions, about 5.96. Totally going to stay for that. |

MedTrans has two major problems why they're so short on pilots. One is they have a major failure in recruitment due to the fact they're not looking for skilled or qualified people they're just looking for a meat in the seat with a license nothing more nothing less and get them as inexpensive as possible. The other is retention and that has to do with the operational control management. When you're hurting for people this bad you can't disrespect people and treat them like garbage or they leave there's lots of other opportunities out there. |

How does anyone in the OCC affect your life at all? They aren't in the management chain, you don't work for them, they simply hold veto power in relation to operational control. They can cancel your flight. Period. That's all. Who cares? I'm not going to argue with them. |

From that list I can say I’ve worked out of most of these communities in my 30 years in power line. I’d never live in them so I’d say that most pilots wouldn’t either. Perhaps if medical operators took the utility approach and paid travel and lodging for 3 week tours to these crappy towns and pilots can live anywhere they could fill positions like Ft Stockton, TX. Of course those pilots would be in a position to be away from home and family 180 days a year. The twist of that is being home, wherever suits you, for 3 weeks at a time still paid. |

If one judges a company on the amount of turn overs and open pilot position I can just imagine what the results would be in this case for med-trans

Indeed I am that guy. I decided it wasn’t worth my time to point out the every POH addresses if an aircraft is certified for aerobatic maneuvers. I will assume you are the same person that can’t read the limitations section of whatever you fly. Lots of people checked in to point me out wrong when I asked a simple question. Turns out one can roll a 135. One can loop a 407. I happen to know that story. Bell actually de-certified that serial number aircraft on the video alone stating so many components were scrap from the exceeding the limitations the entire aircraft is scrap. |

but it's weird you don't know the flight manual isn't called a POH. And show me a flight manual for a helicopter that says you can fly aerobatics mr. "utility flyer". |

That was the point of my original question. No helicopter I’m aware of is civilian certified for any aerobatic flight. Tribal knowledge and military applications show that some CAN do aerobatic maneuvers. In clouding the military EC-135. Let’s return to my original question. Can an EC135 fly inverted or roll intentionally or not without chopping off the tail? The simple answer is yes, sort of. True inverted probably is not possible. My question comes from the med types statement that they were ‘pinned’ against the ceiling and the helicopter rolled more than once yet they were both somehow able to get into their seat harness AND secure an infant patient in seconds before the crash. |

Yes I am aware that a Rotorcraft Flight Manual is the term for multi internationally certified aircraft. For the stuff I fly certified in the US decades ago Pilot Operating Handbook is the term used. Yep, I first memorized the POH for the MD-500 at revision 4. |

What should we call the manual that pilots refer to that is required to be in reach in the flight control area (cockpit) in every aircraft? Yes I’m including large aircraft as per the international regs Rotorcraft Flight Manual? Asking for myself as I fly multiple AIRPLANES as well as ROTORCRAFT? Yes in an MD-500, where I make money still calls it both POH and RFM depending on the serial number and the certification date. Gee….. AIRPLANES don’t have a rotorcraft flight manual Your turn BRO. Which actually says everything about you. |

Yep bro… read the regs that got you to the point you are. A POH or RFM is notonly required in the aircraft but ‘within pilot’ reach. Meaning a B-747 can’t have a manual in the rear lav nor can a B-407 have the manual in the cargo area. So yes, flight control area is the term used internationally for placement of the critical operations manual or whatever your choice of wording is. I know what the are recognized as within the bodies that govern flight rules. Am I still behind? As a side question. Do you have a beard or man bun? |

1/30/2022 4:39:13 PM Reply to: 2718579 |
Good and bad news is almost zero management, until something goes wrong. On the medical side 4 managers for every 1 worker, on the aviation side, 50 workers per manager, and spread over multiple states.
At least they are not in your business everyday, but when you need them to actually answer a legitimate question about the policies, and procedures or rules and regs, it is like pulling teeth.
It really is one of the last old school cowboy operations. I kind of like the autonomy, but just know you are on your own. The pay is crap, and some of the bases the med crew have no adult supervision. It can be like being an elementary school teacher at a school with no principal or superintendent depending on the base. So if working in a craphole for low pay is for you then it ain't that bad. I can live with it. Covid is partly responsible for the increase difficulty recruiting as well. Flying some covid casualty with a N95 on all the way, then having to decon the cockpit, is not a big selling point.
