    Should EMS Receive Discounted Airline Tickets?

    Yes, I think that EMS personnel should receive discounted tickets. The reason is because they work so hard for the general public and the airlines I believe should do something nice for them for their public service.

    Should EMS Receive Discounted Airline Tickets?

    Yes, I really think that EMT's should receive discounts on airline tickets. In fact, they should receive discounts on food as well. Their job is so important that we should salute and honor them more.

    Financial constraint question

    The whole company and EMS unit needs to meet and come together. They need to do a brainstorm ideas meeting. They need to think of ways in which to keep the budget in the clear and what services to cut and what not to cut. It can be done, but it really needs a lot of research capabilities.
