Any RN Recruitment Officers out there?

Options
Hopefully there will be and will be able to shed some light!

Basically Junior wants to join the FAA as a pilot. Has sat his PJFT and was waiting for a date to take his FATs when his recruitment officer told him that, because he wanted to join as a pilot, as a result of the SDSR he wouldn't be put forwarded for the FATs until next year at the earliest.

Not ideal but not alot we can do about it.

Anyway on rumration, its been stated that aircrew applicants are still being processed (ie being put forward for FATs and AIB) and if successful at both being offered other roles or being placed in a pool waiting for confirmation of 2012 places.

So this contradicts what Junior has been told.

Junior is plannig on ring the recruitment officer on monday but was just curious about what position actually is - don't want to actually say his recruitment officer is feeding him duff information but don't actually want him to wait and find out that his application could have been porcessed earlier and there's 9 months worth of people in front of him!

    There are a couple of AFCO's on Rum Ration, Nunja_Stoker is one of them. Best ask him, maybe pm him.
  • I know ninja posts on rum ration and in fairness he is a very helpful person.

    Having said that it was something that he posted that has caused this confusion,lol!
