Just wondering if anyone could answer this question, Do you need a first or second class medical for being a federal air marshall!! Thanks Animal
 
I dont believe that you need a specific "FAA medical", but probably be up to Class I minimums.

A good friend of mine is a FAM - I"ll ask him...
 
How often are these guys away from home?
 
A friend of mine is a current FAM, from a western "domicile". Without giving anything away, they have a job just like a flight crewmember, doing nothing but deadheading.

They go out on multi-day trips, and if they misconnect for any reason, they call their "scheduler" to get reassigned.

Oh, he also says that current FAMs must hold a Class II medical, but that they are doing away with that requirement.

I thought posting links to other discussion forums was now strictly prohibited?

What are you trying to get away with, buster? Sharing information, or something?

But on the original topic: I can't imagine a worse law enforcement job. a former roommate of mine did it, and it sounded awful. I'd rather be a mall security guard.

Durka Dirka, old post, grave robbar
Sorry, was thinking some people forgot why marshals are on the planes.
 
You know...I think you can make upwards of 90k.

And it was funny I was reading the forum that was posted here. Seems like people are complain about the schd. 4 on 3 off in some cases.

So, I am like let me get this straight. You have a decent schd...with some kick ass pay. AND you don't have to wear a monkey suit? AND you get to carry a gun? AND its a Federal job!

LOL, those $%#@$@#$. I would LOVE to see a FAM have 9 days off a month and make 18K. Then lets see who complains.
