About CalFire Pilots
We are not state employees. We work for DynCorp International (now Amentum) which contracts with the state of California to provide maintenance personal and pilots. We are unionized and follow a seniority system. When a pilot is hired they typically start as an air attack pilot flying an OV10 or a King Air. New hires may spend many years in an OV10 before they have the opportunity to bid a tanker trainee position. Base location assignments are bid by seniority. Some have spent more than 10 years waiting for the base they want. Most spend their first years in temporary positions before gaining enough seniority to bid a permanent position.
