Well, 2 and a bit weeks... still no update on my file's status.. some of my DEO friends have already received the 'no go'.. anybody else?

Im in the same boat, I'm assuming your file went to the 14th boards? If so sit tight because the waiting isn't over yet! Agreed that ACS was a blast, what entry program are you gunning for? best of luck  edit: welcome aboard!

+1 Just talked to my file manager and he said that the trade is closed to new applicants until March, but those in the system are in the system. My file was at the 14th boards (CEOTP) and I also asked about them, he said seeing as pilot is such a competitive and tight trade that I should expect...

There was a cognitive test as well... cog screen?

Agreed, glad to see at least we've learned from taking it on the chin with the cormie, why stray from the tried and tested airframe?

Plus, http://www.aviation.ca/content/view/3791/1/ ... The real boom is flying in the Far East and UAE... places that require 3,000hrs minimum in most cases...

I'm in the same boat, was told there was one on the 14th, hope my file makes it there on time.. also hearing 40 slots for 400 apps... best of luck!

So you're saying the 'Hurricane Spitfire' didn't defeat the German 'Focke Wolfe Messershmit' for air supremacy over the skies of England?

fielding an entire football team is a bit of a stretch, the rosters are very large... just look at the troubles University of Toronto has and they are still the largest school in Canada... The Paladins hockey team on the other hand uses alot of players that have played Jr. or otherwise anyway...

Well I can't speak on behalf of the hornet community, I am going directly by what a driver told me. New guys on squadron can expect roughly 200 per year whilst the more experienced guys get in the neighbourhood of 180, though some of the more experienced guys can get on the FWIC and fly a bunch...

Just wanted to correct myself, checked my notes and Hornet pilots fly 180-200hrs annually.. sorry for the confusion.

agreed... but i'm definatly confident, I must've barely not made the measurements and the Flight Surgeon didnt see anything at all wrong with it and had nothing but positives for me, so Im not too worried!

Well I wouldnt go so far as to say Im in the trade yet, so hopefully they don't look at this as an issue... I was told that you have to not fit into 2 training aircraft for it to be an issue by the Aircrew Flight Surgeon so knock on wood... I cant see this being an issue as I'm not a large...

Well, medicals are all done... wont know for a few weeks forsure but the doc said that there wasn't anything that stood out to him that would be an issue. Only catch was that I didn't fit the J Ranger or the Griff, so no exciting world of Tac Hel for me! But the good news is that I do fit the...

from a pretty reliable source, hornet drivers log roughly 200-250hrs... if youre new on the sqdn it can up to 280 or so...

Currently at 8 wing.. absolutely loved it here... met the standards for pilot, but not air nav... class of 9, 5 pilot and 1 also made air nav... now onto toronto for the meds!

Wow, great find.. a few of those vids are 'produced' by CF-18 driver 'Squish' who also has a DVD avail for purchase on the internet..

Yeah, have my rec permit right now(made sure not to get PPL prior to aircrew, am just waiting on a pass/fail to fly the PPL flight test), learned to fly on the mighty DA20-C1! Not getting too worked up about aircrew, it is what it is and I'm sure if I listen to instructions and fly the...

medical checked out and finally got my date in stone, serial 6301 running 16-20 of october, anybody else on this aircrew? Guess I'll know my fate more or less in 13 days

this is the kind of stuff that really excites me... as MikeG put it so eloquently a few threads back, an exciting time to be wearing blue!
