Flight Medic Question?

I've been a paramedic for a while now, and I'm seriously thinking about trying to get a position as a flight medic, but I don't know much about how to actually get the position. Is any additional education required prior to interviewing and what kind of salary can I expect? Also, do flight medics work a 24/48 schedule? Also, how much experience is generally required for the position? Finally, is it worth bridging to RN to be a flight nurse as opposed to a flight medic? Please don't copy a wikipedia page as an answer, and if you don't have experience in these matters, please do not answer. I need facts not guesses. Thanks.

I am an RN in a mobile unit ...we don't fly and I cannot answer alot of your questions specifically...but a good place to get fight training is in the service ....army, navy air force or marines...you choose ...maybe even the coast guard and they will assist you will your schooling costs and you'll get to see new and exciting places while you get your experience.
