I'm currently on BOTC at St Jean for pilot, and had a question about OJT. I was wondering if your location for Ojt has any bearing on what type of stream you'll go through. For example, I would like to be close to family, so the St. Hubert squadron would be great. On the other hand, I would love...

Small correction 032_Or_bust, I believe you get merit listed only once you successfully complete Aircrew Selection.

I am interested to know considering the changes made to the AEC selection process at Trenton if this induces any effect/change on the pilot testing portion done at ASC. Does anyone know if the simulator portion is still the only test that evaluates your suitability for the pilot trade, or is...

To answer your question bernardjmarx, I only had a few hours of flying before I attended asc. If I would have known what I know now as far as instruments go, and more flight experience in general (60 hours), I am highly confident I would have passed. Second time around should do the trick ;) By...

Hey man, you can say I'm in a similar situation as yourself. My first application was November 2009, went to ASC a bit over a year ago. Was unsuccessful, went ahead and earned my ppl this past year, now simply wanting to redo that ASC and get a position. Hopefully spots will open up before April...

Would it be unusual for new pilot DEO numbers to become available during the year (before April 2012)? Especially with this new budget that will be passing...? Snyper

Hey guys, quick question about the pilot trade. I applied last year and was unsuccessful at ASC, so I've been working towards my PPL and am going for my flight test next week (DEO pilot applicant BTW). 6 months have also gone by so I'm close to giving it another shot. I just received a letter...

Hey dude, absolutely do not get your CPL before you attend ASC. I just got back from ASC a little over a month ago, and let me tell you, it's no walk in the park (especially the last session). 3/4 failed including me. It was very devastating, but It's not really a problem for me because I'm...

So I just got back from my Aircrew Selection. Very nice base, friendly people, overall great experience. My group consisted of 4 guys (including myself). 3/4 failed including myself. At first I felt very bad, but like .bp said I'll take it as a bump in the road. The 4th session was surprisingly...

Hey guys, I'm driving down to Trenton tomorrow for my ASC. On one of the documents it states that I will be getting refunded by the most economical means of transportation, and I will leave at 1330 and arrive in Trenton at 1830 (from Montreal). If I'm driving down, can I leave at 1700 and...

2 years versus 7 is quite a large difference. I guess everyone experiences different wait times/delays/backlogs. ps, Supersonic Max, I'm very jelous of where you are in your training. :salute:

7 years eh..

7/11 pass, not too shabby. Congrats on those that made it past ASC. I'm booked for the week of May 31st.

Istpierre, no I did not get a conditional offer. Although I was told that I was a competitive applicant during my interview a few months ago. Hopefully that means I'll get an offer if I pass aircrew!

Congrats on your offers guys! I got the call today and received the dates for my ASC (April 26). I like the part about the board not sitting until the summer... I would hate to find out that all DEO pilot positions were taken before I finish my ASC. 

Since there are new DEO pilot slots available, does that mean that aircrew selection will now open up for DEO candidates awaiting that course?

I like the title of this new thread... a bit more positive! My situation is that I'm awaiting my aircrew selection, and I keep getting estimates of when I should be 'expected' to attend. Orginially it was January, then it became end of March early April, then it was mid to end of April, and now...

Vodkaboy, I don't think there is nearly 200-300 DEO pilot applications awaiting offers at this time. I think the actual number is much less. Also, when you say qualified, are you referring to having completed everything including aircrew selection?

I had my interview Nov 17th, and was suppose to attend ASC this month, but I got an email from my MCC saying that since they're not hiring pilots at this time, ASC is not running for DEO pilot applicants. He told me that all DEO pilot applicants awaiting ASC will be on hold until April when/if...

VodkaBoy, the recruiter here in Montreal actually recommended I do that (about 5 months ago). He explained that I'd already be in the system, and that would give me a competitive edge. The problem is, I would have to get trained for a specific trade and work at that for a reasonable amount of...
