The word around care today was July 1st. Nothing official official but that's what I heard. They are rushing their largest new hire class to be cleared by the 1st, 40+ in the class.
It is scheduled for a July 1 start....

30 day trial for CARE.
AMR and CARE are going to litigation.
CARE doesn't have the 60 rigs it needs nor the staff. The 60 rigs were going to be acquired by AMR but AMR gave them the shaft. Alot of people from both operations are not jumping ship and do you blame them? Why leave your medic job with union contract for a $14 an hour straight pay medic job? Or your emt job where you will be started out $1 above minimum wage. Get the popcorn ready, its gonna get interesting.

Believe me, they have the rigs. They have more than enough rigs.
It'll be interesting because my last shift with amr in San Gabriel valley is july 2. So i wonder how many times care will drop below level zero in the area and need to request help from another provider if they even do it.

All hear say on my part. Regardless the litigation part will be real interesting.

They have a bunch of rigs sitting around right now in preparation for it. Needless to say, more than enough. What is AMR suing for??

IIRC, when CARE took whatever the Cerritos EOA was from AMR (too tired, and lazy to look it up), they made good on their promises to all of the old AMR "lifers" who opted to jump ship.
When I finally went there for a very brief stint, all of the old AMR Cerritos folks seemed more than happy with their move. They were being treated quite well, and many had also been given special assignments such as acclimating the then already-hired CARE people orientation of their newly acquired EOA; basically same thing, shinier uniform.
So for whatever it's worth, they do seem to do things right more often than not.

There it is...
My one and only reply in this thread. Riverside County guy out!
The hire class is in a turbo mode, a month of orientation squeezed into 2 weeks, with shift bids already open for the new EOAs.
Care took final delivery of 97 new ambulances for the new EOAs back in December.

Ok. If ambulance companies are going to start using this forum for marketing/corporate comms I'm out of here.

there's been ambulance companies on here for years, you're way behind the times. And they're mostly from the hellhole that is California EMS
