Eagle Med/ Ballard Aviation

[holdmybeer]

Does anyone know if Eagle Med is hiring fixed wing pilots at this time?

 

[CaravanMan]

No, not that I'm aware of anyway; we just hired two pilots and are filled up at the moment. Openings don't pop up very often. Good company and QOL here. Sorry!

I heard an Eagle Med trying to get into ICT this morning had to try a few times to make it happen. Whats up with that? I made it in on my first try and thats even with a brand new F/O. 200 ovc my arse.

I guess I must just be a stone cold pimp yo. imp:

On a more honest note EM seems to be a great place to work with relatively little turnover. If you don't mind livin' in a random Kansas location. I know I was impressed with them when I was thinking about coming on board. I just wasn't to keen on living in Goodland. That was honestly the hardest decision I had to make turnin' them down.

What are the typical qualifications of their new hires? Just wondering what to expect for single pilot king air...

Thanks!

The only number I remember was 2500TT. I know there was some other stuff but the beer is playing havok with my memory right now.

Eagle Med and Eagle Air Med are two different companies.

That's what happens when you're doing training; I'm guessing that our two new-hires were out flying...I'd been outta town, so don't know for sure.

I was just breakin balls. I have much respect for the guys at EM. Single pilot IFR with lives that are depending on you completing the mission. Good stuff.

Haha, I figured so... I didn't take any offense! I definitely know it wasn't me, lol...I'm a former freight guy too! Woo Hoo!

Is that you, C? Used to work at Yingling?

 

[kingairyahoo]

...is the Mr. Z still runnin the show up there?

 

[CaravanMan]

Nah, Mr. Z's still around, but not in the position he used to be in. We've got a new one who seems to be doing well.

Eagle Med and Eagle Air Med are two different companies.

VERY, VERY, VERY different companies. Eagle Air Med is the one in Arizona that just had the crash. It's also the one that has lost its CAMTS accreditation numerous times over the years for such things as failing to report accidents and incidents. There will ALWAYS be pilot openings at Eagle Air Med because the corporate culture is one of employee abuse- therefore high turnover. Can't speak for Eagle Med but if they rarely have open pilot positions it must be that they treat their pilots better.

Summary: Eagle Med-Good place to work
Eagle Air Med- Bad place to work

FYI for those interested...
