Pay Rates

Air Evac Lifeteam’s Pilot Starting Salary range (effective July 1, 2021) is $73,775 to $96,923 based on experience and available geographical modifiers.

Air Evac Lifeteam’s compensation package, in addition to the base salary, includes components such as geographic modifiers, stipends for advancement, a 3% annual merit increase, and work-over at the rate of time-and-a-half. A “Pilot Experience Worksheet” (PEW) determines initial base salary, taking into consideration total flight time, rotorcraft time, ratings held, night unaided and aided time, turbine time, prior HAA experience, etc.

Many AEL locations have a geographic modifier, adding a percentage to the base salary ranging from 2% to 25%. The percentage amount depends on the assigned base location.

Work-over Opportunities - Work-over is paid at 1.5 times the base salary hourly rate. It includes the geographic modifier where applicable, whether at your home base or away. Per Diem and travel expenses are provided when working away from your home base.

Relocation Bonus - You will be eligible for a $5,000 bonus if you move your permanent residence to within 60 miles of your assigned base and after successful completion of the initial pilot training program.

Base Housing - All Air Evac bases have company-provided quarters (no cost to you) during a 7-day hitch, both on and off your 12-hour shift.
