Please make sure that this is something that you and your wife agree 100% on and if you really want your kids going to school in a border town.
EDIT: Just remembered your post a few pages ago, im guessing you are still having friction with that potential transfer? |
. Check your PM. Thanks

AEA/AIA position
Hello. I’m new to this forum and I was reading this thread and I have a question(s). I’m planning on studying for my helicopter pilot license through a college program. Since you’re hiring student pilots as AEA, how many hours would be needed to qualify for this position? I’m planning to get my private, instrument, commercial and CFI.
|
Yes! Is there a flight requirement for these student pilots.

I have searched the last 10 pages or so to find this answer. Will CBP pay for a Comm Multi Add on?
Also, I see that PR/ CAMB pays 25% extra off of base salary for RI, is PR a good place to live with a family? Ive talked to one guys saying that his family is faring very well. I just wanted to get a consensus from anyone that is currently there. Ive also always wanted to fly turbo props and I love the Dash 8. I was planning on applying after I got back from vacation. I wouldn't mind trying out CBP as a pilot although I see that a lot of people have suggested to just wait for the airlines. Also, I am in OKC every so often, would it hurt or would I be allowed to drop by Will Rogers and maybe get a tour or speak with someone if I happened to stop by? |
Thanks for searching for the answer. I have another question. Is the Sierra Vista location strictly a drone site or do they have helicopters too?
|
Thanks! I noticed the current announcement had Sierra Vista as a location and I want to stay in Arizona. Still gonna work towards my certifications to be a pilot. What’s the average class size for the AMO Academy? Do you get a lot of applicants?

They have their own office, own mechanics, different schedules. Put it this way, in 18 months I have never even sat in one of their helicopters. Hope that answerers your question.
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. |

There is a good portion of us in the office who are dual rated. We have 5 or 6 guys who are rotor only as well as 3-4 who are fixed wing only. CBP doesn't care what your flying background is or how many types you hold, your a warm body for the UAS seat

Staying current in what? I'm currently TDY for a few weeks to another UAS location.
