Hey guys, I'll be applying for pilot under DEO within the month. I'm from Montreal and I've heard from a primary source that it will be much more efficent if I drive to Ottawa and apply there. Apparently they're much more organized at the Ottawa recruiting center in comparison to Montreal. Can...

Can anyone have a reasonable prediction if they'll be hiring pilots (DEO) at the new fiscal year in 2010?

any predictions for 2010? Under DEO preferably...

I have been interested in the pilot trade myself for quite some time now. I'll be applying under the DEO entry route, and every time I go to the rectruiting center I get conflicting information on when the best time to apply would be. When I mean best what I mean is the soonest time possible to...

i met the guy at an airshow in the summer.

Hey guys I just have a question about getting selected to fly fighters. I met this pilot trainee last summer and he told me that the guys who select people to fly fighters much prefer ones who have graduated from RMC. Also, watching Jetstream I noticed that all of the pilots were from RMC. Can...

I apologize if this question has been answered before, but I've searched many threads about this topic and havn't found anything. Anyways my question is, once basic training is complete, does it have a significant impact on the persons life? In other words.. does bootcamp actually change someone...

yah but I'd like to maintain as best as I can. I just have this vision of a bootcamp officer finding the pills and going "you don't need hairloss prevention pills, your ugly as hell already" lol

I'm taking 1/4 pill of proscar (finasteride) for hairloss (insult me if you must), it absolutly works great and would have a huge baldspot if I had never bothered with it. Anyway, I'm planning on joinin the air force in a year of so and am wondering if it's something I should mention in the...

great thanks for answering to a newb. I got another question about OJT, what do pilot trainees awaiting courses do to for fun or with their past time if located in a rural airforce base? I'm guessing theres a good social scene with guys and gals  ;)?

The thing is I've grown up in Montreal and I'm 21 so I'd be happy to leave this city/province. It's not that I'd prefer to be located as close as possible, it's just I'd like to know that I'm not stuck for months on end without visiting friends/friends for some time. I don't really care how far...

because I've been bothering him with way too many questions recently so I'd figure I would bother you guys ;D

Thanks for the quick replys. The thing is I know someone right now in Trenton who works very few hours per week on his OJT. If someone is posted in Trenton for example, with such few working hours, are you on your own and can do what you please when not actually on the job? If your posted in...

I'm sure these questions have been answered before.. I just can't seem to find them and I've checked for quite a while. My question is, is a pilot trainee posted to do OJT right after BOTC? Also, while on OJT (not on course), how much vacation time does one have? How often would I be able to go...

Another question, does the fact that I go to Civi U as oppose to RMC for DEO put me at a disadvantage when it comes to selection boards? Also, (if you know) are DEO applicants prefered over an ROTP or CEOTP applicant? Thanks alot, Snyper

Thanks for the quick responses guys. By the way what does LWOP mean?

Shit sorry about that... those were my first posts here and I thought that when i created the thread it wasn't going through because I couldn't find it afterwards so I decided to add onto another thread.

Whats up guys, I'm planning on applying as a pilot in about a year and I'm wonderin if I'd make a competitive applicant. A brief background... Was very active in team sports as a kid, capt on my soccer team, capt of hockey team, and starting pitcher for baseball (a while back). I then took up...

Hey guys, I'm from Montreal and for the past several months I've had a main focus in life and that was to become a pilot in the Canadian forces. Since that point in time I decided that this is what I want to pursue as a career, and a good amount of my free time has been spent researching our...
