@SpiritAirlines It’s been ‘looked into’ by your company on many fronts. I’m just sharing the news with the masses to prevent the same from happening to them

Thread. I am a Pittsburgh Paramedic. I am passionate about my work and my career. I am also a husband and a father. Today, as we begin to adjust to the new reality I am experiencing a new emotional dichotomy. While there will be no winners, this pandemic is our super bowl.

Did you know that the idea of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week began in 1981 by the Contra Costa Co. Sheriff’s Office, CA. More than ever, we want to thank all PSAP/911 telecommunicator professionals, as well as our own dedicated colleagues at STAT Communications!
