The AEC DVD is an interactive media product. The videos on the recruiting site are just one small aspect of that DVD. A comparative analogy would be the difference between a game trailer and the actual video game.

I would also recommend you go through the AEC Recruitment DVD if you haven't already. If your recruiting center doesn't have one, PM an address and I will have one sent to you. As to Afghanistan... AECs are in there as airspace managers coordinating close air support (CAS) as well as providing...

There are 8 AEC Col, 31 LCol and 127 Maj out of a total PML of 518. At 32 you have a fair chance at getting Maj or even LCol if you are coming over with the right credentials... OPME, Degree, Strong Second Language Profile, etc. These won't be enough but when the cream rises due to outstanding...

Places where AECs are actualy controlling... thus all the air bases and North Bay. In Celtic's case this could include Greenwood or Shearwater if proximity to Cape Breton is a plus.

Check out is the slang term for what is technically now called "certification" and what was more commonly referred to as "qualification". For awhile they were even using the term "combat ready". There is some real semantic legal beagle differences between all these terms but the reality of their...

Four of the six Wpns graduates from last week are destined to depart North Bay after 51 Sqn OTU. Three of those will be OUTCAN (i.e. the USA). While the odds of a posting to the US after North Bay (51 Sqn OTU) is fairly good these days it is still predicated on having achieved sound control...

Actually, it is AF AEC Tng who is good at getting OJE/Ts to where they want to be even if that means being close to home. The CM does not deal with ab initios (new folks) until they graduate from CFSACO. Careful what you wish for though, as you might just get it. Hard facts show those that go to...

Ahhh... you've been trapped! As an AEC you came through the CFAT filter. Now, CFAT is not the best predictor of AEC success but it does tell us quite a bit about your cognitive ability. At the 60th percentile you are smart so you have no excuse not to do well academically.  :)

Here is a cold hard fact about AEC academics... no one has successfully qualified as an AEC who hasn't first achieved an overall academic average at the school of at least 89%. In fact only two people have ever even graduated CFSACO with an academic average of less than 89... they both failed...

No, it isn't that intensive; nevertheless, the school has had people fail exams and Progress Review Boards have considered cease training from AEC for repeat failures.

No, if fact your supervisor and CO have to essentially sign a contract saying they will afford you the time to complete D/L while on duty. During that time you are pretty much off limits for "extra" taskings. However, if you are a quick study, and as a consequence have spare time during duty...

twigs2, you certainly sumarised the situation better than I did and certainly in a less contentious way. Thanks.

Celticgirl is correct... E is for experience. There is a slight distinction being made between OJE and OJT these days where OJE is less formal and generally not performance checked. So sitting in a Tower Cab watching and learning how controllers work would be categorised as OJE but doing an AEC...

See attachments for definitive answers to all things visual... Certain types of Laser Eye surgery are permissible even for aircrew. However, minimum standards still apply. Currently V3 is required for AC Op.

No, but seeing as they are generally literate they wouldn't place "omnipotent" into a location field.  :P They'd use "omnipresent". Moreover, given how many of them there are, that might not even be a boast!

Just an FYI post. Long rumoured it is now official. This new name for MOSID 00182 becomes effective 1 January 2009. 

WTF is this about? One position for what and under what plan (CEOTP?)? Celticgirl... what's this about a merit list? Is it for AECs or for a particular plan? Let's just say I am appalled at the lack of clarity you people are facing.

Aye, but what happens in 3-5 years? I always saw this scenario as a pain me now r pain me later, except the pain later gets worse when the roots you have been growing get hauled out. Something to consider... but you are not a newb and know the game. BTW... the new .doc is the correct one now...

When I originally uploaded it must has used the cached first draft. I have now up-loaded the final draft. It should be showing 8 and 7 weeks as per the info in the OP. I'll check when I get home later this eve as .doc don't make it through the corporate firewall. Good luck getting your choice...

My PDF? To what are you referring? As to YAW... its a function of traffic levels. Quite frankly, Shearwater doesn't have enough traffic to challenge a new controller and this is not a good environment for developing skills and professional excellence. In the past it would not have been...
