The article claims $2.9 mil total a year total cost per helicopter. It also claims there are 905 in the USA which is way too many like twice as many as needed., per the article.

The article also says most of the helicopter companies are owned by venture capitalists, which means likely a huge profit margin.

These ‘highly paid’ staff lines is salesman BS. It’s not that expensive. It’s a Cush as shite job for one. They work for probably what 3 hours a week? The rest of the time is flying around.

Tell the helicopter pilots to pound sound if they think they deserve more money. How many civilian pilot jobs are out there? They can go fly tourists around Vegas if they think they deserve more.

There’s quite a few people that would love a $30/ hour 12 hour shift night gig where they only work for one hour a night and the rest of the time they mess around on their phones. It’s either that or change bed pans and work as an ER nurse. I’d take copter nurse over ER all day long.
