Gordo, I just replied to your email. I hope it works, cause I never done it before.

Earl, BFI - is that Bakersfield? I used to fly out of BUR after I left GA in 99. Keep trying with GA. They do have a high turn over. You just never know. Good luck.

Bfi - Boeing (seattle). I'll keep trying GA. How did you like working there? If you hear of anything in the UAV world please let me know, Thanks

Got it. Thanks.

Did you get the job? What were you left with when you walked out of the interview?

Earl, I didn't realize BFI is Boeing fld. In that case, check out Institu for UAV jobs. They are just east of PDX. If I don't get picked up by the CBP, I'll try them next.

Gordo, I'll find out early august.

If you had your application is for the May 15th announcement, the cutoff is a 99 to get through to the next rounds. I emailed and asked, and thats what they told me. So if you had above a 99, good luck to you on the interviews, if you are with me and got a 98 or below, beers my house.

If it makes anybody feel better, I have a 101 and will likely have to turn down the job since I have another one already lined up.

Well I guess my 88 will not cut it, at least I still have a job. Good luck to all those who do get on, I am jealous and hope to join you someday in the future.

If that's true, then I just didn't do it. I had a 96, Milky, since you are not going to use your points, I am accepting donations. LOL!
