Good to know!
How would I go about applying?
And is an EVOC course required? (CFFA isn't holding another open one for a month)
Thanks.

They do require EVOC but I would apply and interview. They might just hire you as a non driver for the first bit. I would at least call and ask.

Call them or walk in for an application.

Thanks alot, man.

Also, does American take regular 911 emergency calls like Rural/Metro does, or is it just tame transport stuff?

It's not far from my house, so I'll just go stroll over there right now.

American is mainly a transport company. We do some code 3 transports. Rural Metro doesn't do 911, Orange County and Orlando FD do all the transporting now.

Just went in and filled out an application. So long as I show proof that I'm registered for the EVOC course next month I should be GTG

Thanks for the help so far.

Thanks, Should I expect testing similar to the NREMT? Would my pay increase with a bachelors degree or is that not considered?

The test was about 20 questions. It wasn't bad at all and was not very formal (you just take it in the lobby).
A pay bump for a degree would be nice, but I doubt they care.

Thanks, I'll give em a call for an app

Just found out hiring ended Friday.

Anyone know what American's reputation is like down there? The newly-minted American New England Division absorbed an older company with a rather poor reputation. I'm curious if its "parent" has a similar reputation or is as innocent as an ambulance company can be.

Hope you get the job!

Or is it three companies with a rather poor reputation...?
