Where are you in your application process? You don't need flying experience or PPL for the aircrew selection test in Trenton. Though if you flip through the test guide (http://rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/cf-aircrew-selection-centre/candidate-guide.page - better to open the Word doc), you will note...

Does anyone have parents who are both very firmly against the military decision and always will be? How did you overcome this strong family disagreement?

Haha nice post. Gotta love the phony crap around the office. How about "touch base", or "reconcile", or "regards"? What about some common depressing phrases said by disheartened employees? These just kill me: "Oh it's all good pensionable service." "Maybe I'll win the lottery."

I wouldn’t focus too much on any specific numbers. (But if you did want numbers, I think Messerschmitt’s numbers look about right.) Let me describe to you in more general terms the process (including potential spots for failure, since you asked), from my own research and experience. I am still a...

Thanks for the info. I get the vibe that there is quite a bit of flexibility in selecting OJT locations.

I think you are in a good spot to get into it. You are young and about to finish your degree. Your degree is of technical nature which, although not mandatory, may only reflect positively on your application. Yes, from talking to pilots, I'd say there is a fair share of people who dreamed of...

Thank you Dimsum and bradley247. Not that it is my intention, but is it possible to voluntarily release from CAF before getting winged, if one happens to firmly dislike it for whatever reason? Again, this is just for information. Thanks.

I don't believe there is a score for your medical? Is there?

Hahah RoyalDrew, nice post. I'm thinking very positively!! But I do think it's responsible and prudent to be informed about negative outcomes as well (ah, my parents would be so proud to hear me say that!). George, thanks, I've read these before but I'll go over them again to refresh my memory...

Good day all. I am currently applying as a DEO pilot (completed aircrew selection in Trenton), and while hoping for great things, I would like to take this time to look further into some scenarios where the unintended happens (as they say, hope for the best, plan for the worst). This is for my...

Once again, something that is best to check with the CFRC.

Hope

But note that in order to rewrite the CFAT, you have to first prove that you've sufficiently upgraded your academics. Also, your 2nd result will stay on record, even if you score lower than the first time around. Something to keep in mind. I believe that's how it works, but of course - check...

Wow. Can this mean less pilots being hired next fiscal year? Also, what kind of work does OJT usually entail, and are members normally posted closer to home for it? Thanks.

Overthinking. Sometimes steps are done in different order, it doesn't mean something has gone wrong with your file. Just check periodically with the CFRC on the status of your file, which will also remind them of your presence. Next thing you need to do is to get scheduled for medical and...

You can tell them about it if it seems an appropriate answer to any questions asked. Or mention it casually if you want and I imagine it shouldn't be a big deal. And they might notice it anyway when they examine you. Don't stress, just go for your medical and find out.

Read this thread. Your attire is good, don't forget dress shoes and neat hair. Find standard sets of job interview questions online and answer them out loud as if you were interviewing - this will help you get into the interview mode, think of relevant things to say, and cover lots of material...

Understood. Thank you DAA, appreciate your feedback.
