Re: Aircraft/airplane/helicopter Pilot (air Interdiction Age
Mine said 11 and 99. The grade is the GS grade, and it will be the same for everyone. The "rating" is a score out of 110 based on your application.
I wouldn't hold my breath, man, the lady I talked to said it usually takes three months before you get called for an interview - and that's IF they pick your file out of the stack.

Re: Aircraft/airplane/helicopter Pilot (air Interdiction Age
I just applied myself. Got an 89 score and then added 5 points for Veterans Preference to make it a 94. I was a wrench turner in the Navy and have the FAA signoff for my A&P. If I were to go ahead and get it, I wonder if that would help?

Probably only if you want to be a mechanic. They have a pretty good budget for Maintenance, so even if you break down somewhere, you call in, get it authorized, and then say Fix it and charge it to the card!!
Your taxpayer dollars at work!!

Ian, Do the interview, let them make an offer, then make a decision whether or not you take it. Its one of the best flying gigs out there, you get paid whether you fly or not and no furloughs.
Any questions about stations let me know, if I don't know the scoop, I can get it.

Re: Aircraft/airplane/helicopter Pilot (air Interdiction Age
Thanks man... as for the city, Sierra Vista, AZ, I think. Yes, I am prior military - former Army helicopter pilot.
<------ Flew this guy minus all the guns.
I appreciate that Bill - and that's excellent advice, but no can do. I made a commitment to myself for this new career, just moved, and just bought a house. Plus, I still just believe flying for living just isn't for me. Six months ago I would have been all over this job, but it's too late now.

Re: Aircraft/airplane/helicopter Pilot (air Interdiction Age
I was actually on the Border Patrol side (prior to CBP), my military time was mostly spent jumping out the back of airplanes:nana2:. I went from the patrol to the Air Marshal Program just after 9-11.
The government joined the two air operation programs when Homeland Security was formed, much to the chagrin of most of the Border Patrol Air OPs. Now its known as Customs and Border Protection Air Ops.
Hindsight being 20/20 I should have stayed where I was at, but patriotism won out, after that I took what I was dealt. I retired earlier this year after 28 years.
If you're working border stations you'll be flying 182s 206s, MD-500s and blackhawks. The interior stations and some of the northern border stations have PC-12s, Blackhawks and slowtations. I think they still have some old king airs, and A-stars floating around as well. They also have P-3s with E-2C radomes on them but thats mostly down in Florida and points south:bandit:.
