PELAIR AAV update

Things are tough for the B200 drivers at AAV. Long hours - time pressures to plan a flight and get it out in 20 mins, 6 to 8 sectors on a dayshift or back of the clock on nightshift, into a black hole in marginal weather at an unfamiliar airport, plus bad smells from patients - aeromedical is not quite as glamorous from the inside looking out!

Add to this a gruelling roster, unnecessary 'company' pressures and not surprisingly the pilots get a bit tired and fed up. Equally un-surprising is the pilot turnover rate which PELAIR are struggling to maintain - hence the permanent advert on their website. Good for anyone wanting to try their hand at aeromed.
