Any one know who "justice" is?

I know they ship convicts to and fro, but are they an airline, or are they law enforcement?

Out at Williams Gateway airport in Phoenix/Mesa Arizona, two MD-80s shuttle government workers, and very frequently shuttle immigrants back and forth (from where to where, im not sure). About every other day, two to three busses pull up and a bunch of people with INS blue wind-breaker jackets guard the perimeter with riot guns.
These flights are Justice 311 and 315

Correct.

They post for jobs every 3 or 4 months, go to www.doj.gov and go to their jobs board and do a search. Very nice lady runs the recruitment in D.C., she'll call you back usually within an hour or two of you leaving her a voicemail.

Looked into it a while back, seemed cool to be a U.S. Marshall as well as a pilot making decent money with a government pension at the end of the tunnel but it only caps out around $95k if I remember correctly...

Do you have to move? Do they keep you on the hook all the time, or let you have a decent lifestyle?
Do you have to be a commissioned law enforcement officer?

who is "Brickyard"?

The current Republic Airlines (IATA: RW, ICAO: RPA, and Callsign: Brickyard) is a regional airline subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings that operates service as US Airways Express for US Airways from Philadelphia and Washington National using Embraer 170 aircraft.
US Airways' pilots previously had a "scope clause" prohibiting the airline from operating large regional jets such as the 170. The airline negotiated around this clause by offering flight deck jobs to laid-off US Airways pilots, in a program known as "Jets for Jobs." This agreement created a subsidiary, MidAtlantic Airways. However, as part of the airline's bankruptcy restructuring, the 25 E170s delivered to MidAtlantic are being transferred to Republic, which will operate them along with three new-delivery aircraft on order. Republic will operate them under a conventional Express carrier contract. On March 6, 2006 Republic Airlines announced it plans to establish an overnight maintenance facility and flight crew base at Pittsburgh International Airport, creating as many as 140 jobs by year's end. Already Republic has taken over flights from Pittsburgh previously operated by Air Wisconsin.

Do you have to move?

Yes, the job will be posted in whatever city they need people in, usually where there's a major criminal facility or two. Last one was in Louisiana, next one is rumored to be in Virginia.

Do they keep you on the hook all the time, or let you have a decent lifestyle?

You don't do pop-up trips. Ever. You don't live by a pager. Ever. All their flying is planned, usually 4 or 5 days a week, back in your house most evenings from what I was told.

Do you have to be a commissioned law enforcement officer?

No, but it helps. I was told they will train you as a U.S. Marshall before beginning pilot training on the aircraft.
