And where would you put this second pilot? In most light helicopters used in HEMS in the US, the patient occupies the left seat. At least the patient's legs, with the rest of him/her in the back...

I have never had a member of management question, or even comment on, a decision of mine to fly or not fly. I can't say the same for the 25+ years I spent flying in the GOM. The attitude from...

Cabin size is sufficient. The problem with size is patient girth, as Devil49 pointed out. That's the only thing that really matters.

Using one big helicopter instead of multiple smaller ones...

Epiphany, I think you have to accept the fact that the US is not Australia, which is not England, which is not anywhere else. Practices in one country have no bearing at all on practices in another...

Trying to save a life is, IMO, the root cause of most EMS accidents. It's a business, and this is a job. You forget that at your peril, and at the peril of the crewmembers in the back, and of the...

I can't speak for all operators, but we say no all the time, and I know of many others who do. If you're in this business to save lives, you're in the wrong business. It's just another for-profit...
