airdelta2 said:Wait...so you can fail CAPPS and still be chosen for Pilot (how else would him or her become a fighter pilot)? It might be possible since I've read on here about people passing CAPPS and they were chosen for MARS or another trade.
airdelta2 said:If you pass capps but don't get chosen - what would they be basing that off of? I am guessing the interview is the other places they assess if you're right for pilot.

yoman said:No. I'm guessing they probably got some fighter pilots who hadn't done CAPSS before to give it a whirl. CAPSS hasn't existed forever so not every pilot in the CF has done it.
They look at your whole application when deciding who to give an offer to. Your whole application means your interview, CFAT, Aircrew Selection and whether or not your security checks came through ok or not.
If you fail CAPSS, you don't get offered pilot- unless you take it again. If there are people PASSING aircrew and not being selected, I would be shocked to hear of people FAILING aircrew and receiving an offer. It's kind of like the CFAT, from what I understand- you either make the grade and qualify for selection, or you don't. Period.airdelta2 said:Makes sense. I wonder if some people have failed ACS and were still chosen for pilot. All you can really do then is apply (maybe take some flight lessons) and see what happens.

WonderGirl said:is there any chance of being posted to the West coast after the 5 months of basic and Nav canada? or are all first postings in the East?
airmich said:There is always a chance. And no, not all first postings are East. Approximately 50% of the postings will be to North Bay (although that varies with each course too) with the rest scattered amongst the other units.

When are you going to BMQ?
May 14TH start May 16th
Cbbmtt said:Looking for any AC Op's out there that can maybe answer some questions I've got. My BMQ date is January 24th, and I know you can request to be posted at certain locations (No guarantee of course). However my question is regarding what side of the occupation they put you. The NORAD side? The tower? How is this decision made and can you request to want to work in a tower?
Thanks in advance.
