UK HEMS Pilot Pay
Looks like the shortage of pilots is being felt in the UK. Babcock Onshore now offering up to £80k according to their Linkedin page, although no mention on how long you have to serve to get that. I wonder if the other big UK operator will follow suit?

The value for a line pilot is around 60k, maybe some more for a touring pilot.
This numbers maybe.....and only maybe for a TRE on both types Babcock flies.
Not everything that shines is gold, and with Babcock there´s a lot of shinning at first glance........

All depends on the qualification of the P1. I know of copilots getting very irate as they cannot log time due to the P1 not having an ATPL. They fly as technical crew. But to answer your question, ~ 200.

This "multi crew or not" is an anomaly. Only the chap who signed for the aircraft can officially "use" the hours, but if there were an accident caused by pilot error, it's likely that the authority would pin blame on both pilots.

Creating an ad-hoc quasi multi-pilot operation by using 2 x SP qualified pilots is a very dangerous road to go down. If the operation needs two pilots for safety, then it should have 2 properly qualified MP ops pilots, ( as per what Chorbington describes below) instead of looking for ways to bend the rules!

couldn't agree more. You either do it properly multi-crew or not at all.

”The times they are a changin”
I didn’t pay too much attention to the blurb at the time (as irrelevant in my case) but I believe it was announced that 2 CPL(H) pilots can now fly as Multi-crew on CAT - as long as various exams passed, boxes ticked etc
