US helopay website
For those that have visited B. Hudson's website, it seems that he has pissed off someone in the US EMS industry. The website listed the top 15 companies by payscale.
I am not sure if they have a case, any hangar lawyers out there with an opinion?

One of the EMS operators listed on my website has threatened legal action against me based on the Base Pay Step Increase Comparison chart I published. Until this issue is resolved my website will not be available.

It would appear to me if he was using posted data and offered to correct any errors due to changes within the company that made his charts out of date, then a simple offer to amend the charts to reflect current data would satisfy the complainant.
It might not change the embarrassment the complainant had but at least the accurate numbers would be posted. Are they that ashamed of their pay scales they have to threaten legal action(translated...."we'll tie your ass up in court and cost you buckets of money to defend yourself!).
I found his charts to be quite informative and no where did I see him make any editorial statement about the contents. He was providing a real service to his fellow pilots by what he posted.
From what I saw....there was an EMS company and an Offshore company that really looked like a pair of mugs when their payscales were plotted on a chart with other companies in the industry.
