I've seen those "justice" 737's in Phoenix, is that JPATS? I got an email from my job search robot thing on the usa jobs site about working for the department of justice - you need an ATP among other things. I tried to go back to the link but it's been removed.JohnDoe said:Hi,
Anybody have any insight on flying for the US Marshal Service / JPATS (ie: what is the job like/entail)?
From my understanding, the application process is based on "points". You get more points for being a veteran, so I'm guessing those jobs normally go to those fella's (and rightly so).[SIZE=-2] AIRPLANE PILOT [/SIZE] [SIZE=-2] GS-2181-13 [/SIZE] [SIZE=-2] $72,035-$93,643 [/SIZE] [SIZE=-2] Department Of Justice/US Marshals Service [/SIZE] [SIZE=-2] US-AZ-Phoenix, AZ [/SIZE] [SIZE=-2] 12/22/2005[/SIZE]

And why do you think they should rightly go to those fellas?
LJDRVR said:Because those fellas have served their country and have a history of working for the government. Do you honestly think when applying for a federal job that somebody who never served their fellow citizens should get the same hiring preference as those of us that did?
Get real.
DrProc said:Uh yeah. So that will make them more qualified as a pilot? Working for the government is a whole lot less demanding than working in the private sector. Monday-Friday work, all holidays off, pensions, etc. I think that any non veteran can easily adapt to that.

LJDRVR said:Where did I say more qualified Doc? I said preference for hiring, which is the law.
If you don't like it, write your Congressman.
By the way, your assumptions about banking hours are misguided. The JPATS folks work harder and fly more than anybody in the industry except air tanker pilots during fire season. (Public use aircraft operations are not subject to monthly part 91 flight time limits.)
No cake walk.
DrProc said:Part 91 Flight Time Limits? Interesting.
How about those long haul international 121 operators that have no limit on duty time under supplemental rules.
Listen, I have nothing against the military, especially since I have been there and done that. But I have flown with a lot of people with a lot of experience from a lot of different outfits, and the one thing that I have found is that there is not one background that makes one pilot better than another. I have met just as many idiots with a military background, than with a civilian background. Also Conair operates more like an airline than as a military flight operation.
Now with that being said, can't we all just get along?
JohnDoe said:Geeezzzzzz,
Once again, a thread started in the attempt at some usefull info turns into a Pi$$ing match.......
Is it ever possible that a discussion won't turn into a "mine is bigger than your's" fest??
Anybody know how to delete a thread?
