Are they just supplementing the RM medics, or did a bunch of them leave during the merger?

Any changes in the medic pay for SD now that AMR's taking over? Or would I still have to live in a 1 bedroom studio with 4 other people to afford SD?

Curious to see if Bowers/Pacific will raise their pay for emts. 20 cents above minimum wage on a 12 hour and $10.50 an hour for anything under 12 hours. When I hear its $12.48 an hour starting for emts at amr.

AMR starting pay depends on the division and if the that division is union or not. My non-union AMR division starts around the 10.40 range for EMTs on 12s

When I interviewed with bowers few years back pay was 11.something on a 8/10hr shift but if you worked a 12 hr shift hospital based then it dropped down to 9. Something. Hr assured me that it balanced out the same annually which is a rip off. You work longer shifts for lower pay. Off of this I declined their offer.

Yeah, those fluctuating rates are garbage.

We'll pay you $11/hr starting, but only on an 8 and we don't off 8s. So, on a 12 you'll be making $9.70/hr.

I was once told "It's to keep it fair."

Supplemental. Supposedly pacific is doing bls calls as well?

Well R/M owns pacific and now AMR owns R/M so that would make sense. AMR now owns all of San Diego IFT as well.

Yep. AMR is also sending down paramedics from other divisions to temporarily fill open medic positions for ~15 days.
I almost regret leaving R/M SD for the greener, yet browner, pastures of Kern Co.

Actually, there's still a handful of Mom & Pop BLS companies around SD City, and SD County that are key players in the IFT "game."
