Thumbs up There's more than Hercs

Obviously Hercdriver has much better knowlege about the 130 community in the Coast Guard than me being a Falcon guy. That being said with the purchase of the CASA there are going to be a lot of fixed wing billets showing up in the next few years. The estimate is that there is going to be a need for approximately 200 CASA duty pilots once the program is fully functional excluding Command and Control types. Right now there are only about 70 or so Falcon drivers that will be the initial pilots into the CASA. These numbers might seem small to other services but this is BIG growth for the Coast Guard.
