The cut off age for Federal Law enforcement is 37.
To be a police pilot they want you to be a street cop for certain number of years and then that is stil no guarantee you wil get in. People get to the aviation unit and stay there til the retire or die. Its hard to get into a LE aviation unit.
But Ido like the idea of going back into it until something better comes up.
Why does everyone on here say fly for fun and forget LE? Thats very interesting cause I am ata another website called officer.com and everyone there says get out of LE. lol
So basically what I have deduced is people just arent satisfied with thier current situation. I want to fly for a living. Not neccessarily the airlines although it would be nice.
Ive got one. Its pretty easy to get one at 70K. If youre lucky enough to get some of the jobs in NY theyre up in the 100K range after a few years. (Nassau and Suffolk County).
And my really expensive ERAU education? The diploma covers up a verrrry expensive hole in the wall. I miss flying.... and hate that im not doing my "plan A" job, but after flying for free for years I decided that I enjoy living indoors (in my own hose even!) and eating.
The benefits are good, and the seniority and retirement outlook are both stable.
