my first helo CFI just recently got a job as an EMS pilot. He only had around 1000 horus and only around 90 hours Turbine (and yes, he is the only pilot onboard, not SIC).
He said in the helo world you first instruct or do basic sight seeing flights & patrol flights, then comes EMS, ENG, or off-shore oil platform flights, etc... then you move on to Corporate flying. Starting pay of 60K for EMS is typical.
