I know someone who is… 
I can imagine that he would be able have his leaving do in a phone box and still be able to fit everyone in!
Or the old comment ‘what’s the new boss like?’…’ Same as the old boss.’ If so God help the RAF,
I wonder if a certain Sqn Ldr’s career has come to a grinding halt with is e-mail?
Like most employers/careers the one thing the RAF will ask is why do you want to be a pilot and why in the RAF. Also be prepared on the type of degree you take as they will question your motivation regarding that too as to why the degree, location and what you gained from it.
Fitness first is key too, i have a friend who has just recently retired as a Chinook pilot, top grades at uni etc spent years doing AEF and UAS whilst he was waiting on streaming. However the main thing was fitness he worked and reworked that constantly.
In 2015 there were 1,830 pilots in the RAF the total strength of the RAF is circa 35,000 which shows how competitive it is.
Good afternoon, can I please ask about the aircrew in service degree? How would I apply for it and also, does it still exist for aircrew as I was told it was only for other roles.
Many thanks
Potentially silly question but why provisionally award wings which aren’t confirmed permanently until B1/combat ready status?
It’s always been that way - maybe linked in the past to an element of trg flying pay, but that all changed some while ago.
Probably in recognition that you had completed the basic / intermediate / advance stages? Too many variables of subsequent allocation to OCUs / aircraft type?
I passed my final handling test (wings qualified) at METS at Finningley, a day or so later I passed my motorbike test, then 2 days afterwards, I passed my driving test! All in the same week. 
I think at the time, it was successful completion of OCU rather than combat ready? My memory might be a bit faded with that though!
