Awhile back Air Evac was advertising for EC135 pool pilots, supposedly paying $120k+. It seems like all of the other major HAA operators also use pool pilots to cover new bases / scheduling gaps, but I haven't seen much info regarding pay and benefits. 

For all of you pool pilots on the HAA side... what is the pay like? Do you get a stipend for being a pool pilot? 7/7 schedule, commuting on your 'off days'? Are there any other operators that hire externally for pool pilot positions, or do you typically have to start at one base and transfer internally?
