EMS jobs used to be coveted, especially in your hometown/state. The industry has many options today that didn't exist 20 years ago. Now. Instead of 200 bases around the country you have 1000. Add the airline effect, we now have the perfect storm. My organization refuses to pay one dime above the competition, so there's no real reason to look here. If you can make the same money as everywhere else and live in a warm climate that's where the migration's going.

I tell everyone under 50 to go fixed wing. The long term income is 3x and you don't sit all day growing old.
