The conditions those companies operate under is completely different than the US. They are a cost plus service contractor to the Health Service who are pretty stingy.
Even then there was waste but no price gouging.
The pilots told me they were never put under pressure. The biggest issue was often inbound to native reserves with gravel strips , no ATC or local weather.
They seemed to like the flying. As they were all young it was a stepping stone job.
I have plenty of time in BE100/200 types for Air Ambulance work and there were no single pilot operations with those aircraft types.in the locations I worked amongst the various operators. Also not aware of P12 operations as well as that aircraft type wasn't suitable in Eastern Canada(Maritimes).
