Re: Pilot Hiring outlook
I believe we are at 45-4600 pilots at the moment and the outlook that has been projected in the fleet meetings is around 6000 by 2025.

Re: How difficult is it to become an RCAF pilot?
After 25 years you will get a pension of around 70k per year, inflation protected and with survivor benefits. I would suggest looking up how much it would cost to buy an annuity with similar payout and then ask how you are going to get that amount in your company’s DC pension The CAF DB pension is ...

Re: Joining the RCAF at 37 years old
I got the same message as above from a recruiter. The recruiter was a Navy petty officer. When looking into CEOTP the navy PO said... “ you will have absolutely no clue how to fly our aircraft and we’ll need to start training you from scratch.” - I found this a bit odd. Probably because the Navy PO...
