AMC comes into a crowded market only to close a base in less than a year in SE Wisconsin....what is the logic in that? The amount of money wasted to set up bases and them close them cant be cheep-yet i cant get a raise??! Now they are openning a another base in Texas on the boarder. Not sure who is going to pay for that with high rate of uninsured. |

Trying to figure out why managers and marketing folks make those decisions will make your head hurt. So don't. Just make your shift the safest for all involved and create a happy work environment. And make some money.
Texas is a tough market for AMC. In the past 7 years I've seen over 8 bases close, entire programs lost to PHI, existing programs shrink, etc. New bases pop up in the areas where previous bases failed and hopefully they will survive. AEL's base in a box concept is tough to complete against.
For people considering applying for new border bases do your homework before applying. They rarely last more than 2 years before closing. Not a great area for living. Never buy a house there. If you do hire on do your one year base lock then transfer to a base you really want to work at.
After 7 years with the big Blue, both public and private control; living through 2 base closures and a stint as a relief pilot, I moved on to another pasture (grass is greener). Remember, AMC is in business to make money. They will sacrifice anything and anyone to achieve that goal. Fly safe and good luck. |

Management lie of being home every night. Hard to go home from a base that closed. |

Sometimes the hospital is footing the setup fees to get new patients. If the flights are not there AMC will pull the plug. |

Nope, didn't get fired. Left on good terms with AMC. Currently working a SPIFR program supporting a major hospital program in Texas. Will retire in a couple years. 30 years in the Part 135 world is enough for me. Thanks for contributing to the thread. :) |

AMC is very experienced at closing bases, all of the managers travel in the day before and stay at the embassy suite, safety Stand down and mandatory meeting the next morning! |
