Say I become an NYPD officer by December 2007 (July academy)... from that point, assuming I do not "know anyone" ... how long would it take before I would be eligable to apply for a pilot position in the aviation unit. Also, does being a licensed and fairly experienced airlplane (not helicopter) pilot help my chances at all???

1) They tend to pick friends of guys already there.
2) 95% are former military helicopter pilots.
3) They tend to have a average retirement of 1 guy every two years.-In God we trust. All others, put your hands on the car and don't move.
