Late 90's AE-3 Glendale AZ. 120+ flights a month. Crews were professional back then, took the flights without complaint. Friday night thru Sunday morning, you never saw the base you were on calls. Same with AE-6, gone all the time.
Now the pansies whine after TWO flights. |

How do you define or measure "busy"?
How many 40 minute round trips? How many 6 hour round trips? |

In a 3 way rotation with Native 17 and we still did 50-60+ a month. Then one by one all of them, 3, 5, and 17 all closed. Crew rest wasn't really a thing until after 2-3 am and it was rarely called. |

Intracoastal City. INTRAcoastal. IntRAcoastal. Please, give it some respect and spell it correctly. BTW, it's Vermilion with "one L" too. LOL |

Author:1000+ flights a year

Back in the early 2000's our base flew 1000+ flights per year, about 75% of those flights were scene calls. I flew between 325-360 flight hours year after year after year. If we weren't getting 100-120 flights per month during the busy trauma season, then we would wonder what the problem was. We never turned down flights for crew fatigue, we just went when called and napped in between flights. There were multiple shifts where we flew 5-6 patients in a 12 hour shift. |
