So as I approach my ten year mark as a flight clinician, yes, that is correct, flight clinician-I have come to the conclusion that pilots feel as though they are gods gift to this green earth.  While there are those that are good and some that are bad, those that think and proclaim that they are good-are probably bad....  The ones who haven't stacked their aircraft are just lucky at this point.   I've looked over this board for years and the only thing that I can find as a common feature is that "Medcrew are morons" and they complain about this and that.  "They think they know weather-I went to flight school and I am a pilot, they have no clue what they are talking about."  If you claim to know weather, become a meteorologist.  You may have a grasp on physics and theory of flight-If you claim to be an expert, become a physicist or aeronautics engineer.  Bottom line, in the industry of HEMS, most are on the verge of getting to something better:  Pilots-"Bro, I don't have to do tours or be a CFI anymore, hell yeah,  going to HEMS."  Medcrew-"Bro, I can sleep all day and beat my meat/labia and not have to do anything."  Bottom line, WE are a both wrong.  If we were smarter than we thought we were, we would be somewhere else. We have to stop pulling this US vs THEM mentality and have a legitimate discussion over it.  Sure, some of the med crew  I have worked with are morons.....  Have a discussion-now is the time for you to have your king D*CK show.  Some of the pilots I have worked with-are morons.....  So the med crew says no....  Im sure the HBS programs have a lot to do with communication issues but if you have a routine med crew-talk to them-grow up and have a discussion......  Last time I saw someone die as a result of an aircraft going down-I didn't see any medcrew at the stick.....

Well, im sorry that you had that experience in the past.  Im sure that our team would love to have someone who would enjoy to be involved to that extent.  You're welcome to come to our base!  Im sure that we could all learn a thing or two.

The medical crew at my base is always reluctance to take flights and put in a lot of effort into manipulating the pilots. They only want pilots who will comply with their requests and be complicit with them in manipulating the company.

This conduct is causing significant delays and disruptions and contributing to a divisive and toxic work environment.

When you turn down one for crew 51% and the weather is fine, about 10 minutes after, go do a solo training flight.

killed in helicopters by you clowns than the number of "clinicians" killed by pilots.

If you want to be a "crewmember" you have to own the mistakes. 

Weather related accident...contributing factor...medcrew did not vote NO.  How's that sound sparky.  Crewmembers don't get to be victims.

Med crew are always starting with sick folks most of the time-Why do you think they call it practice PIC?  We own it on the back end-for days, months, years while Sit up front oblivious to what's really going on.  Obviously more people "die" in the back based purely on statistics alone....  Im sure your crews love you sparky.....

Bottom line for the op, you're still self loading baggage, so shut up and buckle up.

Why can't we all get along?

both called clinicians. it's the correct term. not flight crew, as they aren't.

Not Flight crew. 

Why do medics think they know everything? When the truth is they are the lowest paid, mainly educated from podcasts, and are also members of the local search and rescue. They think because they talk to pilots or have ridden with a pilot through the years they know about flight. 

Take your certificate and throw it in the trash. Go enroll at your community college and become a nurse you will be happier and might realize the problem isn't the pilot it's you.

You're self loading baggage.  Put any name you want on it, you're self loading baggage.

As I approach 30 years flying I continue to be amazed at how many people die from medical screw ups. In my personal observation 2-4 each year that I see first hand.

 Clinicians and the rest just go along and astonishingly I see family often thank these buffoons for doing their best!

 So... until pilots kill more than medical types I'll remain unimpressed by opinions from the scrubs gallery.

"The ones who haven't stacked their aircraft are just lucky at this point."

What does "Stacked Their Aircraft" mean?

I've been in the helicopter business since 1984 and I've never heard that terminology.

Please inform.....

I stopped reading at clinician

And they call the aircraft HELOS !

I am going to design a helicopter that has a galley, with benches and rowing appliances that are manned by the medcrew.

When patients are absent, the medcrew will be assigned crewmember positions there, and the output of their rowing efforts will be transmitted to a portion of the main transmission to assist in keeping the helicopter flying. No sprag clutch, so they have to keep rowing during autorotation.

Row well and live, medcrew.

assume "that" means "who".

English?

Keep plugging, you'll get there.
