Default CBP Air Questions

Looked around and forum and used the search function. Found some older threads... But I was looking for some more up to date information.

Does any one have some good information about Customs and Boarder Protection pilots?

What kinda schedule these guys work? Living distance requirements? I currently live about an hour away from San Angelo, which is a UAS base if i'm correct.

How does aircraft/base assignment work? Will a fix wing guy get trained to become a helicopter pilot as well?

Is there a training contract? Would they help pay off a contract to come work for them?

I'll have 10 years of law enforcement experience in May, as well as about 1700tt with a BE-300 type rating. I'm seriously considering moving over to CBP Air.

Thank you for any and all information!
Fly Safe!

Do you believe there is much of an advantage on your resume when applying for the majors later on that you have experience as a government pilot for homeland security? Similar to military flight experience? Or does that fact not carry much weight?

Probably hard to determine since many AIAs flew military as well. Every P-3 AIA that I have run into flew P-3s in the navy and by the looks of it you won't get to see a turbine anytime soon as a new hire there. A job as an AIA sounds much more enticing and secure (at least to me) than a job as a regional pilot but I wouldn't want to spend 5 years waiting to fly a King Air as mentioned above so I opted for the regional route.
