Thanks again for the reply   Now I'm just drooling!  edit: hehe had to remove the kiss emoticon which, in my defense, thought was licking lips!

Globesmasher, Could you elaborate on what quarterly basic flight training consists of? Is sim time loggable? Just trying to get an idea of how many hours will be spent in the sims as compared to actual seat time..

Gollee that was a quick reply! Thanks globe... I still can't believe these things are actually coming online, and so fast! Great recruiting tool for guys like me.. nothing like a new piece of kit to help motivate!

Don't know if this has been asked, but how many pilots will be needed for 4 airframes? Looks like I'm missing the big influx by a few years  :crybaby:

Is that a compressor stall?

Nothing invasive at all, it's easy peasy stuff (cept, like me, your heart rate and BP might be a little high due to stress!)... The only real catch is all the waiting you'll be doing... bring a book, puzzles or something because you get sick of that waiting room literature really fast!

My guess would be because they aren't on the line yet

Grrr.. I knew that! My mistake, thanks for the reply Inch.

A Slight hijack here, When 439 and 425 merged they kept the 425 name.. I Understand this was due to 425 being a historic french-Canadian squadron.. Now when 441 and 416 came together, would it not have been a better cost-saving measure to keep one of the squadrons active and have them...

the application process is long and drawn out, things can change in that time... better they turn them down then realize it isn't their cup at IAP

Im in the same boat, from what I was told the ROTP board sits Feb 20 and can expect more information 2-4wks thereafter.

+1 That article brightened my day a bit!  ;D

I am going ROTP pilot, I was told in december that the next pilot selection would be in Feb, not too sure if this is still the case but that's what I was told.

Just a thought, as in the past the 'experts' have been wrong with Missiles replacing manned bombers as well as the initial F-4 having no cannon either... here's hoping i guess!

Just a thought from a UAV-hating aspiring pilot, but with the advent of new stealthy platforms such as the F-22 (obviously no nation is even close to competing with this technology) does anybody see a time in which conventional radar guided long range missiles become obsolete and a re-emphasis...

at ACS it is 3 1 hour, give or take, tests... Not only on math, but on a variety of Nav related problems... The math isn't hard, but the name of the game is speed.

What is the difference between Combat Support and Tac Hel?

You are correct...  my file was ready just in time for the 14th boards so through a combination of excitement and lack of patience thought 'might as well' go CEOTP to cover all my bases... If it falls through then I'll be going for the April ROTP boards again... after actually thinking it...
