Air Marshal Barney Fife

[G2T]

You couldn't pay enough to spend all my time flying in coach.

It would be one of my worst nightmares...it is like a NEVERENDING deadhead that I can't take a nap on.

How would you recognize an Air Marshal on a SWA flight, He/she is the only one not wearing a Budwiser tank top, a mullet and one of those stupid looking baseball caps with the flames on the side?

.... dont hate.

seriously though. I have long hair right now and am going to trim everything but the back and go to an indy race. its gonna be great

And where do I sign up for that cake job of flying back and forth sitting on my azz all day?
Do you have ANY idea what you are talking about?

Or are they able to page thru porn? How much do they get PAID? I suspect quite handsomely.

Ah here we go with another high-schoolish kid who thinks it makes you a man to look at porn...grow up. The pay is not as great as you would expect. It starts around GS9 from whatI have heard.

It starts low....but goes up significantly after 2-3 years...but the work still sucks. Sitting in the back all day, flight after flight, for 4-5 days a week. Long duty days. Feel free to read...but don't be caught sleeping.

Didn't mean to offend you... I was implying that the type of person who would take this job is probably into pornography and is probably brain dead. Certainly doesn't make you a man to watch porn.

But seriously, starting salary for police officers in my suburb is around $48k, and this is a low crime area. I'm sure these gum shoe, TSA, "ride alongs" must make somewhere near that, and most likely more. Must be near brain dead.

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Here's two pages of cops/cop wanna be's, talking on their forum about the looming air marshal shortage, one hints that starting pay is 52k a year.

I see you are extrememly misinformed about the system. Air Marshall's aren't some TSA ride-along rejects that you seem to think. These guys have considerable amount of specalized training and fire-arms training.

Yea sitting in back sucks, but sitting up front staring out the window of the RJ as is slowly plods around isn't exactly the most intersting thing on the planet(I know that may shock you, but trust me on that).

There is plenty of porn reading up front and more than enough brain dead people up there also.

Not to change the subject, but did any of you guys/gals see the "Mythbusters" episode last night where they pressurized an airliner and shot a bullet through a window to see what would happen?

They also tested the Bugg's Bunny theory of sticking your finger in the barrel of shotgun to make the shotgun blow back on the shooter. Wouldn't be prudent to do that one at home.

I saw that one a while ago. The guys finger didn't fare to well.
