Just a little googling - https://www.glassdoor.com.au/Salary/..._D_KO19,28.htm so the drivers are also the paramedics. Doesn’t seem that high to me!

This kind of flying should be the best paid in industry. It’s not just flying it’s single pilot flying which means you do it all. Plus as a poster wrote even though one tries not to be involved there is that emotional attachment that is natural. It’s easy to say one doesn’t get involved but I’m sure it’s always there.

I bet the companies are making a good buck. Tendered contract at a rate. So I ask again all the money raised through public donations where does this go?
