Just a heads up.....the FAA is about to have a massive turnover in their "flight check" pilot force and will be hiring at least 5 pilots in the next 6 - 9 months. I just got the call and will start in June.
Bases are: Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Sacramento, Battle Creek, Atlantic City and Anchorage.
You start out as a GS-13 while in ASIP upgrade training (Aerospace System Inspection Pilot). It takes about 12-18 months to earn your ASIP card. After earning your ASIP card, you are promoted to GS-14.
Next year looks promising as well with another 5-7 new hires expected.
Good luck to all....

I think the term massive for 5 pilot positions might be a bit overstated!

It would only be inappropriate if it were not based on fact.

"massive turnover" not "massive hiring"..... but I see your point. :laugh: Hiring 5 more pilots this year and up to 7 pilots next year is pretty "massive" considering they only have around 50 line pilots total doing flight check. I'm not good at public math but I think that's about a 24% turnover.....

Back to my question,

Where's the job announcement?

It's true. And I don't care what a minority or female thinks.

This is the most white male industry Ive ever seen. I'm sorry you guys feel that your being held down by the 10% that aren't white males.... I know life is so tough.

In the words of louis ck:

"you can't even hurt my feelings that's how good it is to be white"

Turbo, you should know better than to ask for good legit information on this forum...

LOL. I wonder how many pilots who believe that actually have the yams to mail the FAA a letter complaining about it.

As most of us already know, the FAA is over 90% old white guys. One day I hope to be one of them.
