CVGolfer,

I also got hired by CBP as an AIA. I'm currently in the hiring pool waiting for an EOD and FLETC date. A lot of pilots, including myself, is upset becaue of how long it's taking to receive a duty location. I already have my BI completed and is ready to go. At this point the budget for FY2010 will be, to my understanding, signed by Dec. So, hopefully we will see some movement for January.

Anyway, a great website to visit is: APTAP.ORG
It gives updated info concerning your questions.

Take care,

Dutch
