What are the chances you will be forced to fly a drone? What do you do besides flying on the job?

Tucson is loosing all their MEA’s. For the new hires coming in don’t pick TAB if you’re looking for fixed wing time unless you’re really wanting to fly a Cessna.

If you’re still looking at different locations Tucson will be loosing all their multi engine airplanes. I’m not sure if that’s a deal breaker but it’s a fairly new development.

Chance of flying a drone- I really don't know the answer to that. There are only a handful of locations flying drones at the current time.

What do you do besides flying on the job- Law enforcement training and qualifications, collateral duties (safety officer, training officer, firearms instructor, aircraft instructor, sensor operator, etc), online training, standby for missions.
