Originally posted by merlin436 View PostThere has been at least one 2010 class hired and at FLETC now. That's 48 or more new hires this FY.
This leads me to believe that there are very few people in that class OR that TSU numbers are that much higher than any of us think, based on the "5-10% of us are represented on these forums" idea
Every one of those cadets had a 5-10% out of 100% chance of being a forum user. None of them were. Somebody's numbers are off, is it the number of CBP cadets at Fletc or the percentage of TSU applicants on these forums? Either way it isn't good.CBPO

Also if you take into consideration that there are only 9 people listed who have TO's for the SW border that makes it even more improbable that someone selected would be on this board. That is if the rumor about the only hiring being for the SW border is correct.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Originally posted by TuffStuffCBP View PostThey said there would be "new positions" in addition to attrition replacement last year. So far, in the past 5 months of the new fiscal year, I don't believe we've seen a single new hire to any port in the entire US. There is a reason the President want's to cut funding to CBP - It's most likely because:
A. The agency doesn't fit into the strategy of securing aircraft prior to loading and departure, like the FAMS/TSA do.
B. Passenger volume has, so far, outpaced attrition in the major airports for negative growth.
CBP at big airports analyze passengers AFTER they have landed, only from abroad, and after the threat to passengers is largely over. When has their been an attack AT an airport AFTER arrival? If you are en route, you would be best served to attack the aircraft in flight. If you are departing an airport domestically, CBP has nothing to do with you, as it isn't in their charter. Unless the administration starts pushing Customs pre-clearance abroad or there is a congressional change to CBP powers, we will rely on passenger and cargo volume for growth. This is the most telling as to whether a job is coming or not. I'll start to get psyched when JFK posts big numbers or when an act of congress begins construction on pre-clearance sites at every major foreign airport.
A. CBP Pre-Screens incoming passengers before they even board the plane overseas.
B. This I really do believe is true, not too long ago I was on an international flight, the int'l flight was booked but the domestic flight from SEA-TAC to Dallas only had about 8 passengers on it (3 of them was my family) and NO I AM NOT EXAGGERATING!
