Post Predator Pilot/Sensor Operator Opportunity

I'm assisting in recruiting civilian Pilots and Sensor Operators for a new Predator-B operation. A lot of this is on the DL, so some details are not available at this time. Here's roughly what we're looking for:

Sensor Operator:
Background: Some relevant experience such as: Miltary Aviator/Observer, Law Enforcement Aviator/Observer, Military Intelligence, Military UAV Operations, Image Anlysis, Forward Air Control (TACP, COLT, ANGLICO, Etc), SOCOM Operator, PJ, Force/Batt Recon, MARSOC, NAVSPECOP Mobile Unit, etc.
Pilot Experience: None required, but probably eligible to train for UAV Pilot position if desired.
Clearance: Secret+ desireable, must be eligible for TS+ (no major criminal, financial, or substance abuse issues)
Location: Lower-left US
Travel: Probably some CONUS, possibly some OUTCONUS
Pay: $60K (Likely $100K after one year)

Pilot:
Background: No specific requirements.
Flight Experience: Private Pilot + Instrument Rating
Medical: Probably FAA 3rd Class
Clearance: Secret+ desireable, must be eligible for TS+ (no major criminal, financial, or substance abuse issues).
Location: Lower-left US
Travel: Probably some CONUS, possibly some OUTCONUS
Pay: Likely $100K

I have some discretion on the SO background, so if you think you might fit, get in touch. I know of no specific education requirements. PMail me or just post here if you can't pmail.

DISCLAIMER: UAV Pilot time will do little to advance your civilian flying career.
