The website doesnt really provide any clear information on how the program works or how much they fund.
I flew ems helos for almost 10 years. The only thing worse then being furloughed would be having to go back to ANY helicopter job especially EMS. Also unless you have at least 2000 hours pic rotor, you can pretty much forget a ems helo job.
I just hope we don't get furloughed too long.
