Chopper Tom Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I see the border patrol is hiring helicopter pilots. I have been a police chief for 12 yrs and meet all their requirements. I am thinking of applying for one of the jobs in the upper mid west. I was wondering if some one works for them and can discribe a normal days work, and any other info they would be willing to share. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmfish Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 So you were a police chief before your 28th birthday, and you've also managed to get a commercial and instrument rating and build 1500 hours flight time? Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Tom Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I am a chief in a small town. I started when I was 22 and still the only one in town. I have been flying since 2000. I fly helicopter rides, and powerline during the year. Since I am the only guy, I can make my own schedule which works great for flying.

palmfish Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Wow, good for you! Best of luck with CBP. I don't work for them so I won't try to answer your questions. Everything you ever wanted to know about applying and working for them can be found here... http://www.aptap.org/forum/phpBB3/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
