you will like it on the other side. Would never go back to that low paid nonsense again

isn't paid that much more flying a COW car.....it will be YEARS before you make that $$$$....YEARS.....at least when it is IFR, i can still get paid and go to bed...

like i said, i will take my VFR job and go to bed...all the checkrides to do all over again and studying....from your private to Commercial...ugggg...no thanks..

than HAA>.......HAA is what you make of it....its a easy job....you might be on hitch for 7 days and NOT turn a blade and get a paycheck for it, especially OT>....I am at a HAA base where the crews are pretty cool and NO drama here, that the lead has worked hard for.....its actually a good base and volume....BUT if you don't like EMS then there are other Heli jobs out there.....why no do a Seasonal job flying fires with No benefits, no 401k and your hustling for that $$$$>...

pool or float is the way to go. Don't like a base? Adios. You will make $150K with only the travel OT. With bonuses, I will make $170K plus NO STATE INCOME TAX if you reside in FL or TX, etc. which a considerable chunk of change that stays in my pocket. The nights suck, though. The only drawback.

they have piszzzzzzzz    poor attitude....Its incredibly hard to get fired flying HAA and you have to work hard to make that happen.....most of the pilots fire themselves for doing stupid things or Lying about something they did....and yeah you did it, or harass and argue with others....Put your ego in check...its not that hard of a career....

 random retard

I worked as a Float for years...got tired of all the travel, but yeah I was making $150k traveling for 2 days out of my 7 days on Travel OT, and the extra $15,000 stipend they paid a year to the floats plus your expense check at $1400 a month....

you are exactly where you belong

I did not see or read any comments concerning the a--h medical crews. Thats what makes HAA really suck

 Here I thought roofing houses in Phoniex right out of high was the worst job known to mankind. Now older and being a human shield seems like a worse job.

HAA is the best job for me. Having tried everthing else (most everything) in this industry, I get to fly routes that i'm familar with. I work with some fun people, and Im close to family, getting home every day. Life is what you make of it, and you can decide to be part of the drama or let it go.

If I turn down a flight for weather I say 'declined for weather' over the radio. If the med crew don't want to fly and I have to abide by the 3 to go rule, I say declined for the '3 to go rule' over the radio. This holds them responsible, I don't get to kick back as everyone is expetecd to act like an adult and do the job they signed up for.

Pretty simple really, give it a try.

The BEST is retirement and financial freedom.... imho.

Worst job? You've apparently never done roofing work, or poured hot asphalt. 

Cleaning a portable toilet is a pretty crappy job.  

and honey eh?

Why is American stock down 90% in the past few years?

United is kicking their buttocks.

UPS and FEDEX Captains jump to an American regional on buyouts with the understanding move up to the parent is open for a lifestyle change etc.  Only 10% to go!  Sounds interesting to me.  No clue which way it'll all go.

much challenge in FW, and so easy to deal with it.
