90k to start, max. Unless near Seattle. Then 120k and you’ll be broke anyway

is not your pay. you will make much more than that. 200 is not uncommon after a few years if so inclined. an overtime shift can be 1500. you do the math.

So why are there so many EMS openings? Why is everyone flocking to EMS? Can you make more in the Gulf?

All of the openings are at places nobody want to live or the flying is complete shìt. Long legs or shifts, busy airspace, terrible medcrew protected by bias management. I would say 70% of the job openings are in the reddest of redneck town, high crime border towns or really remote. Just like any other industry, there are a lot of ‘terrible jobs’ openings

You’re 200 working a bunch of overtime. I’ll stick with my 200k for 150 days of utility and work overtime if I want more than that, while doing some fun flying. To each their own….

Exactly the numbers. You guys in ems are still being shortchanged. Do a little research and you’ll find that those numbers are very accurate in utility. Don’t believe it if that’s what you choose but it’s real.

google utility pilot pay and schedule and it will tell you all utility pilots work 150 days a year and make 200k. also my research on jh tells me those numbers are exactly "pretty close"
