Right now I have pilot compensation set at 65%. Not sure how competitive that is compared to other groups out there, but I plan on raising the rate to 80% once we're up and running.
My thought/plan on my groups is this, created as a "company" with a goal to build the group to a few KingAirs and Helos focused on simulating air ambulance ops in the PE area. Anyone who has interest in simulating air ambulance operations are welcome to join, but it would be more of a joint partnership in making $$$ to acquire our own aircraft. Once we have our aircraft, the rate goes up giving the pilots more compensation for their time with a small cut to fund the aircraft ownership costs. As in the real world air ambulance operations have a thin margin, so I also created a cargo company to supplement the tiny income from running a KingAir with 3-4 patients on board, just as most air ambulance operations are done by companies with charter divisions.
I guess in the end I'd consider it a "PilotEdge Air Ambulance Flying Club".
