Pros

Machanics, pilots and Med crew get along very well and want to a good job

Cons

Where do I start? Low pay, we have clinicians leaving and going elsewhere because of the low pay. Management cliques need to go. Anytime there are two managers together they complain about the others. Management has berated crews for turning down flights for safety concerns. Air Methods continually steps over a dollar to make a dime. Sub-standard aircraft at times. Business development is two faced used car salesmen.

Pros

Safety conscious. No questions asked for weather turn downs. Some management are phenomenal, some are mediocre at best. 7/7 schedule.

Cons

Pay. This is my third year without a raise. Now, because of the Union, all the pilots will be in a pay freeze until 2020 - which is two more years without a raise. You have to deal with the greedy pilots who reject contracts because they want more. For example, Air Methods offered guaranteed 3% raise for the next three years, plus 3% back pay for work and 5% back pay for OT. Because the contract was rejected, now we get nothing. Several pilots are going to the Airlines. Pay is way better, and after the first few years the work/life balance is way better.

- Upper management and senior leadership is out of touch with what is actually going on and not engaged - Pay, PTO and majority of the Benefits are not competitive - Lack of direction and transparency - Favoritism is high - High turnover - "Bandaid" approach to resolving problems instead of trying to fix the core issues
