Thought i'd make an account to spread the hope/joy of the season.
Background
Ocdt - Civi U - ROTP
Halifax area
- Got switched from Air Ops to PLT (00183) this morning at 0900!
So in answer to all your questions, yes they are hiring pilots in 2009 - or at least one.
Cheers + Happy Holidays.

Only Choice haha
And yes it is a very long road ahead.
Already passed ACS though so this summer will be BOTP or BOTC (whatever they are calling it this week lol : ) 
then after that its up in the air so to speak
Any current pilots have opinions on where the next step will lead me?
Note; I am bilingual so 2nd lang. training will probably not be needed once I challenge and pass the exams.
Thanks for your imput and support guys!
Cheers

The moratorium on hiring pilots is for DEO applicants.  There hasn't been a cut-back on ROTP applicants as you will not be in the pilot making system for quite some time (years), while DEO applicants will be placed on the BTL right away.

I got mine back on the 14th, and I believe most Ottawa area CivU ROTPers got it then as well. It was quite a suprise because from what I was aware of we weren't due to get our trade assignments until after BMOQ.

I was Navy (slated for MARS) and moved to infantry. Quite a difference, but I'm very happy with it.

funny cause i've heard the overall number for accepted pilots this year is small and that the trade is closed for next year

Talking about challenging language skills test + mispelling the word *input* in the next sentence = irony  :blotto:

* yes, I realize the post is almost a month old but...it just jumped out at me. 

Congrats on getting the slot you wanted, though!
