Rumor is we will be joining them or getting our helicopter, but I'm not holding my breath. IF and that's a big IF, it will be years down the road.
Diverb, if you don't mind me asking, are you both rotor and fixed wing rated? Curious if they would stash a dual-rated dude in a UAS only initial hire spot. Understand needs of the agency, but wouldn't put it past CBP given the chatter over the past 34 pages. As always, appreciate your candor.
