Re: king air 200 medivac
who cares who it is. no need to post ogc if you got nothing useful to input
Re: king air 200 medivac
Guys, the poster wanted to know the going rates for that airplane under those conditions. Seems pretty simple to me.
Sky Rookie, we do need to know a couple more things to help you out though.. Capt or F/O? Food paid for when up north? What do you consider "up north?" (Not being a smart ass, its just that some people would consider Timmins "up north" LOL) Just a general idea is fine.

Re: king air 200 medivac
I don't work for any of the companies quoted. I have friends that wen through all the operators in Manitoba.
Fast Air:
FO - $27 000 + $35/day perdiem 1 week on, 1 week off with some sort of extra coverage for charters on your time off.
Capt - $55-65 000 depending on whether you came with type rating or not
No bonds.
Skynorth:
FO - $29 000 not sure of per diem, officially 5/5 rotation but most guys do 10/10
Capt - not sure of pay I think around $50K
Keewatin (technically not Manitoba)
FO - $26 000 + $40/day perdiem, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.
Captain - $47 000
2 year bond. $5k for FO's, $12K for Capt. I think they're bonded every time the change planes or seats.
Perimeter:
I'm not sure on the pay but they are rumoured to have the captains making as much as $80-90/year with 1 week rotations. I don't know per diem rate.
2 year working bond initially but once you're through that, nothing more.
Molson Air:
I don't know anything much about Molson. Heard their Captains were around $55K. I think it's a 1 on, 1 off rotation. They seem to be hiring almost as often as the NorthWest Company so I don't think it's a very stable place to be.
Missinippi
I don't know about pay or per diem rates. These guys live up north in Thompson and The Pas/Flin Flon. No rotation.
I hope I haven't missed anyone. These are unconfirmed numbers so maybe others can fill in some of those gaps.

Re: king air 200 medivac
Why is the big green machine so much more than any other medevac operator? What do they get for per diems over there?
Re: king air 200 medivac
Missinippi pays 55000 for captains, 32000 for FO, no perdiem, no bond, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off
Re: king air 200 medivac
$43/day per diem at the green machine
and you get paid well because the company actually takes care of there pilots

Re: king air 200 medivac
40/day IIRC. Perhaps Perimeter should be the measuring stick and the question of why do the other companies pay so little be brought up. At the end of the day, if you left aviation and put in some effort you could make more than a Perimeter Medevac F/O fairly easily.BE20 Driver wrote:Why is the big green machine so much more than any other medevac operator?

Edit: Further to add there is no Bond on the 704 or 703 work at Perimeter, they treat you right instead. The 705 does not have a training bond per say - however they do have a "Gentleman's Agreement".

Re: king air 200 medivac
When you fly a King AIR 200 you are paying for the right to fly it and your wage will reflect that. It is a primaDonna airplane that is crazy expensive to operate relative to other aircraft. It wants to fall apart after 20,000hrs and good luck doing +1000hrs a year in one. A Dash8 can do up to 120,000 hrs.BE20 Driver wrote:Why is the big green machine so much more than any other medevac operator? What do they get for per diems over there?

Re: king air 200 medivac
I don't know if I agree with your statement. Are you saying that a 40 year old Metro is less of a maintenance hog than a King Air? Does that imply that since Perimeter spends less on maintenance that they are able to pay their pilots more than all of the King Air Medevac operators? That's very good of them. Most companies I know of would keep the profit themselves.
The king Air that I fly does somewhere around 1200 hours a year and I wouldn't classify it a hanger queen.
You don't see many medevac operators running Dash-8's despite their low maintenance factors.
I would have figured that they pay so well in order to compensate their drivers for loosing their hearing while flying a Metro.

Re: king air 200 medivac
Why does level of maintenance even come up? The Direct Operating Cost of operating a B200 vs Metro is documented info. So are the purchase costs. So is the standard avionics package, the Beech has more toys,that costs money. Not having an autopilot (most metros don't) saves money. It doesn't take much to put more G's in the pockets of the crews.BE20 Driver wrote:I don't know if I agree with your statement.

Your King Air does 1200 hrs a year, a $2/hr savings (as small a difference as 2.5 litres/hr fuel) operating another a/c type (metro, Cheyenne, B100) would put $24K more in someone's pocket, that could be $6K per pilot.
It doesn't take much

Re: king air 200 medivac
/\ /\ math is a little off /\ /\
I think you could buy 3 or 4 metro's for the price of a good 200. Good on perimeter for paying a good wage. I flew medevac's in northern MB for quite a few years, its a good challenging job.

Re: king air 200 medivac
seems 55ish is the median. thanks for the input guys. this site is hilarious every discussion or question becomes a pissin match
Re: king air 200 medivac
What are some of the pay rates for Medivac pilots outside of MB? How about BC or Ontario with all those PC-12's? What do Helijet guys make?
Re: king air 200 medivac
Pretty sure Helijet doesn't operate a 200 on medevac anymore, so probably no way to compare. I could be wrong, though.
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not,knows no release from the little things; knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings.
