Also, air ambulance operations in turbo-prop and piston aircraft are not good for time builders.

Yup! (Ohh, that's too short...I needed at least 5 characters to post that, lol.)

Time builders should falsify their time and write it in their logbooks. Build experience, not time.

Time means nothing; experience means everything.

I don't care about your resume; I care about what you can do. Show me. Don't tell me.

so true, anybody can write in a logbook
but you can't write experience.
i saw that when I went for a type rating. the guy i flew with claims to have all this flight time and acts like he knows everything, but i ended up tking my type almost single pilot

Anybody know any King Air/Turboprop Medflight ops in or around HPN or the CT/RI/Southern MA area?

Stat medivac (home base KAGC) has bases in the north but mainly helo but they also have king air and jets.
\I used to do medflights out of KMTN into Boston quite a bit.

You could ask major hospitals in your area, you never know

good luck

Most of the RI/Southern MA stuff is Boston Medflight. Keystone flies the Helicopters I think there are 3 of them, and Boston Air Charter flies the Citation.

Also, be prepared to get sick a lot the first year or two... being exposed to all sorts of diseases etc can take a toll on your immune system until it builds itself up. The company I work for doesn't have enough pilots right now, infact there are twice as many airplanes as FO's right now... so QOL isn't the best right now, but it is rewarding knowing you're helping someone in need and not dropping off boxes.

 

[Say Again Over]

Well,
You are exposed to things like active TB but I don't remember being sick for work one day in five years of air ambulance ops., the last company I flew for gave us the Hepatitis series which is a good idea.

Thanks for the heads up. If anyone else has any other suggestions for the CT/HPN/MA area that would be great for light jets/TProps etc. I agree, I've been in EMS for 6 months now on the street in a very busy inner city environment, and your immune system does take a bit of adaptation at first. Thanks for the heads up! If anyone knows of any contacts up there in BOS area and if they are hiring that would be great! Thanks

BOS area not hiring for the jet.
