AIA a good option to start an aviation career
I recently applied and am in the testing process for a CBP AIA position and have some questions for the current AIA’s on the thread. I am a 1,000 hour single/multi engine fixed wing pilot and CFI. Do you guys think this would be a good way to start a new career in aviation? I’m a huge fan of law enforcement and actually look forward to that part of the job and am not necessarily looking to build flight time. What are the odds I would get assigned a UAS position (I prefer to fly manned aircraft)? How easy is it to transfer within the organization? Do they often force employees to transfer? My family is not crazy about moving to the boarder, is there any possibility at all of getting a first time assignment at a location other than those listed as the new hire locations? From everything I’m hearing and reading CBP is hungry for pilots, how willing are they to negotiate on your first duty location?
