"In demand" jobs on forces.ca are not necessarily accurate, your recruiter will have better information on that. I think September is probably pushing it for BMQ as you still need to have reference check done and then you need to receive an actual offer, which probably won't happen right away...

Maybe you've picked high demand trades? I don't know why it's so quick, but be very thankful and prepare for all those upcoming things! I'm pretty sure this is the fastest turnaround I've ever seen!

Not intended as a self-serving post but rather a quick update, in case anyone is in a similar spot, wants to comment on their experience, wants to keep in touch, ask questions, etc. Last week passed the 2nd attempt at Aircrew Selection in Trenton for Pilot, this time under the CFAST system. Now...

Congrats! Gives you time to work on your fitness. Any idea why you have to wait so long for BMOQ? Are all the previous courses full?

Doesn't hurt to call for updates once in a while for sure!

Still need any answers? Or are you farther along now? Cheers.

Well Ryan, that was probably too long of a post for a reader who isn't a pilot applicant haha, but since I am one, I read it with great interest. Good post for anyone actually, and after being in the recruiting process for 2+ years myself now, I'd say it's sound advice. I have too had...

Hard to imagine they'd have back-to-back selections like that (both June and July) but anything is possible I suppose. In any case, I hear last selections of the year are in November. Any DEO pilot applicants here? Please keep us posted with your progress on the job offers. Thanks. Cheers.

In our group, the key body dimensions were measured by means of mechanical measurement tools instead of the blue screen computer system. I am not certain why that is. But I am assuming equivalent measurements were taken that the computer system would have done. Bottom line is, I think it's your...

Not sure when this article was published or which period in the past or future it's applicable to. But without going into any detail, I can just say that my experience getting measured at DRDC recently does not match the article. I would still recommend to check with the recruiter for any body...

I don't think the restriction is necessary on height but more so on specific body measurements. I'm not sure that these measurement standards are publicly available. But if you're an exceptionally tall/big person, I suppose you could try to chat with a recruiter about it (someone from RCAF...

For anyone heading to Trenton soon, it's a good idea to bring a sweater. It was pretty chilly in the testing room this week.

Hey guys, I’ve been away from here for a while as I was going through the application steps and mostly playing the waiting game. Decided to check back in now. Some people here may recognize me from before. Anyway, in a nutshell: I first applied for Pilot July 2012, unsuccessful aircrew...

Just making sure that list is still active and applicable. Thanks.

Is it possible for officers to get specialized training? e.g. explosives disposal, pathfinder. Or are specializations generally reserved for NCMs? Thanks.

...or 20/21 I should say, I suppose.

Thanks G2G. What is the future like for the other 19/20?

Thanks for the encouragement, Loachman ;)

This is quite an eye opener. I learned through experience that recruiter's words may not always reflect the situation accurately, but I've mostly attributed that fact to recruiters often not having complete information themselves. They are "middle men/women" so to speak. I suppose this is still...
