I talked to the MO at DRDC when I did my aircrew medical and she said that BMI is used as part of determining "Metabolic Syndrome" (Yup, that's what it's called now).  It goes in the mix with HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels and waist circumference.  So they're not using BMI on it's own, just...

First problem: You assumed :). But  you're totally right, it would be a shame to allow those on OJT to fill up their spare time during the day being productive.  It is much more important to have them ensure the popcorn machine is full.

Loachman, that was my point exactly.  At no point do I profess to be an expert in the field, and as such I make no broad statements as to which one is better.  I have read the CANFORGEN that permitted laser eye surgery for pilots and the related medical standards, and I followed them exactly...

Pilot's Girl, what kind of professional background/expertise do you have that would lead you to make such a statement?  There are pros and cons to PRK and LASIK, and the preferred choice depends on each individual case.  For instance, there is a greater risk of halos and hazing if you go the PRK...

Just a clarification that the farsightedness that occurs due to aging is called "presbyopia" as opposed to hyperopia.  There is a difference, as presbyopia is caused by the stiffening of the lens in your eye as you get older.  You are right however that there is nothing that they can do to...

I am applying from Cold Lake.  I don't know if it's an occupation thing or what, but AFAIK nobody here has heard anything at all yet.  I applied for pilot, and I noticed that the SIP was just released on the DWAN a couple days ago.  Congratulations on your offer, what occupation did you get...

409 doesn't wear the Heraldic patch either.  They have a Nighthawk patch similar in design to the patch worn by 410 pilots.  And there are other patches that are worn, such as the "Canada Hornet" badge, FWIC, FEWAR, and 2000 hour badges in the CF-18 world just to name a few.
