Pros

Supportive of military personnel that are serving in the National Guard and Reserves. No questions asked when Solders are deployed from their current position.

Cons

Pilots are asked to work overtime based on company pilot shortages. Lack of adequate pay creates higher turn over in the helicopter industry.

Pros

Great company. Just keep to yourself and don’t stir the pot. Training is one of the best.

Cons

Tough pre-test interview. I have a military background so the written test wasn’t too bad. My advice for anyone thinking of being employed as a pilot is to Study study study and review Part 61,91,135. Even if you are applying for a VFR position know your Instrument procedures for an ILS approach, know what u r to do if you have a radio failure, light signals (ridiculous I know), decipher a RAW Metar/TAFS and know what everything in the Remarks section means, know the difference between DA and DH. It’s only 20-25 questions but if u get below an 80 the interview process is over. It’s also not just multiple choice there’s fill in the blanks too. In my opinion many good pilots are turned away from not getting an 80 with questions that are not pertinent to the position that they are applying too. But that’s the companies purogative.

Pros

Great safety culture, pay, benefits, and training. Safety is a major priority for the owner and Company. They have never questioned my decision for turning a flight down for weather or safety. Very thankful for that as a competing HEMS company just lost an aircraft and 3 crew. That company was always pushing their crews to fly in questionable weather to get the patient at all cost; it cost them their lives. Thank you Metro Aviation for keeping your flight crews safety ahead of revenue.

Cons

Not many other than there have been frequent changes over the 3 years i have worked for them, but mostly due to the Company changing to improve.
