Pros

The single best thing about working at Air Methods was the satisfaction of knowing that everything I did was because of the value the entire line team represented to an individual and their family in possibly saving their lives.

Cons

Leadership is inept due to the fact that there is less than 2% of the corporate leadership had/has never flown the line. They are only concerned with satisfying their shareholders and numbers and spreadsheets are the only metric. Having an attrition rate of greater than 29% is telling enough. People don't leave companies. They leave leadership or the lack there of.

Pros

good pay for the ems industry, good well maintained equipment, broke stuff gets fixed can’t say that for the rest of the 135 world

Cons

New management structure is a nightmare. No one knows who’s responsible for what, pilots directly reporting to non pilots often. Management tries to stay in service no matter how over safer more thought out consistent policy. Constant policy changes with no review or input of any kind from line personnel. Any issue or need has to be spread across three managers to get anywhere. Pilots union takes 1% and is worthless, third year now and no annual raise.

Expectations for the busiest bases are high and difficult with multiple flights per shift.
