What are "these" jobs you're refering to. There are alot of "those" jobs in firefighting. Usually you have to know "them" to get in the door.

Just messing with you...what exactly are you talking about? I'd be happy to provide you some insight. There are alot of different jobs in aerial firefighting with alot of different quals. What's your flight experience and times?

firefighting pilot jobs.

 

[moving2vegas]

Where to begin...since you obviously have no idea.

tankers
lead planes
seats
air attack
recon/patrol
IR
mapping
smokejumpers
100 different helicopter jobs
and a few others I probably missed

There are many different "firefighting pilot jobs" out there. All of which require extensive experience in the air or on the ground, usually both. None of them are entry level jobs. None can be had with "around ATP mins". 2000 TT PIC and 500 multi PIC would be a low figure. The numbers are much less important than your experience and background. Low level ,backcountry mountain flying in type specific aircraft is what we're looking for.
