Ems is the bottom of the barrel in this industry.... prove me wrong 

nice daily rate, per diem, no state taxes, all travel expenses paid. I'll make 140 minimum this year with no OT. Call it whatever you want, but this is one nice gig.

Yeah, that's with your military retirement added in. 

$108k to start for me ... with no OT.  The OT rate is $1068 per day.

Base salary              114,000

Lead pilot stipend     10,000

No insurace stipend   5,000

Retired CW5              4,600 a month

VA disability               2.300 a month

For almost 200k a year I'll bottom feed all day!

Dont hate the player...

If you were one of my patients, I would deny you for scamming to double Dip. If you're disabled enough to get that much disability, then you don't need to be flying anymore. 

nice try skippy.

Standby

DISMISSED!

Disabled but still able to fly. Pathetic. Choke.

retarded but still able to breathe.  Gag.

Lol worst fake AME ever! Everbody wants what someone else has earned. Grow up kid and go work.

Interesting that so many people without the n

Yep. You want Military benefits? Join the Military! Don't want to join the Military? Great! But don't cry about not getting looked at early by Airlines or cry about someones compensation from injuries while serving. Can't we just cheer each other on no matter what path we are on?

where is the baae salary $114k?

Total Bull 💩 !! Base salary/Lead Pilot?? IF you're able to fly?🙄 & you're collecting disability you are a scammer & that is exactly what's wrong W/the USA today!!! 

Just curious, how long have you been with current employer to get to 114k base?

& making that salary?? Shows total Bull 💩er 🤡

Metro has never given less then a 4% raise. Figure a median starting salary with 4% raises every year so $112,00 - $115,000 base salary is well within the norm. You all are at the wrong company if your not making over 100k after 8-10 years. 

Another Metro guy here, and I'd say Vesty's salary actually tracks. I'll pull $120k this year, but I'm at an IFR program.

Been with the company a little longer than Vesty.

My base is $124,400

That is before any add on, IFR, Lead, etc.

4% annual raise really adds up. If Vesty started at 68k 13 years ago, that puts him right at 113k now.  

all these follow up posts are the same guy Bull 💩ing too!

100% you deserve disability, we've all seen the finesse you ex-mil pilots have when landing helicopters... above the best

that VA check that you're paying for...it's tax free.

hahahahaha.  Suck it Jody.

not too hard to figure out who you are with the info you provided. I'll make sure OK-City Medical Division knows about the medical retirement.............

I think you're right in one sense, and incorrect in another.  

Bottom of the barrel with respect to getting flying time and company and medical aggravation, top of it in aviation with respect to helping people and providing a ending of career live-at-home final job.

Metro's scale checks. 10 years VFR, based at 100k. Patience pays off and so do annual raises. 

Hey, dipsh*t.  No one has to prove anything.  If you don't want to do HAA, don't.  If you do, do it.  As for all of the mil haters, you can eat a d*ck.  Just because you didn't make that choice, don't be a p*ssh and hate on the ones that did.  Yes, we earned certain benefits.  So, a mil retiree is what it is.  If you don't like it because you think that we wreck your pay scale, it isn't gonna change any time soon.  So, put your money (not as much as a mil retiree with VA bennys, Ha!) where your mouth is and vote with your feet.  But, no.  You'll take what ya get.  You're the actual bottom feeders.

best schedule.  easy workload at work.  both easy and  challenging flying i.e. first responder remote country in mountains on a DARK night under NVG's with brownout/whiteout conditions.  

certainly are flights that wind up some of the hardest in the industry.

I don't think you know what hard flying is
