    physical fitness after training...

    Big +1. That being said I was not very fit. I wasn't terrible but I could have been a lot better. I actually lost strength (I had been into doing Olympic lifts at the gym) at basic, but my aerobic fitness went way up. I also lost significant weight (part of it was muscle mass, which explains the...

    I guess this is really the heart of my scepticism. So they will get university credits for the flight training that everyone has to take, making this a quasi degree. Just seems like it's the airforce saying "pilot don't really need degree's so lets find away around it"

    Questions about recruiting process

    +1. I could perform better than the standard when I went off to BMOQ. However if I had been 20lbs lighter and could crank out 10+ pullups as well as the other standards, I would have had a MUCH easier time of it.

    Personal experience with their grads, and as a Pilot and former flight instructor at other schools. The government subsidized schools, in Ontario in particular have quite a stigma. Springing from rules and regulations there that many feel degrade the quality of pilot coming from the...

    Yes, with a dubious history in the aviation world. However at least the CF will still be doing the flight training.

    I guess my question is, if the CF is going to do all the flight training, why go to/ make the deal with Seneca an aviation college, instead of a regular college.

    ROTP Average to Maintain in University

    Yes, I VR'd with a B average. I never stated it's what they SHOULD do, but the question was: Is there a minimum grade to maintain. The simple answer is no. A pass is all that is required.
