Re: Hiring Logistics of Flight Programs

["Michael Gray" <mgray87@hotmail.com>]

Last year, I read a statistic posted by a well known flight paramedic 
association stating it was closer to 250 applicants for each position.
It also stated something to the effect that there are fewer than 1200 flight 
paramedics in the USA. Keep trying!
