you don;t just hire military pilots - you have to develop them.

Mostly because their whole idea of military training is still based on 17th century armies. That and most of them have to repeat highschool math because they never learned the basics in skool.

When will you learn that I don't come in to a conversation without having proof. I'll let you off the hook

Complete Phase I Basic Officer Training (in either English or French) at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. This program consists of a six-week Initial Assessment Period (IAP) and a seven-week Basic Officer Training Course (BOTC). Basic Officer Training provides education in military customs and regulations, as well as weapons handling and physical fitness training. If you are a ROTP student, the IAP must be completed in the summer prior to the commencement of your studies at RMC of Canada.

Complete Phase II Second Language Training in either English or French depending on your language proficiency. The length of the program depends on your level of fluency; it can last for up to seven months.

Complete a Primary Flying Training course. This course serves to introduce military flight regulations and procedures. Training takes approximately three months and usually occurs in Portage-la-Prairie, Manitoba.

Complete your prerequisite training courses. These include Aeromedical Training, which covers G-forces, altitude, oxygen system and ejection seat training; Basic Land Survival course, a one-week program conducted near Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Basic Sea Survival Course in Comox, British Columbia.

Complete Basic Flying Training at the NATO Flight Training Centre in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. This eight-month course includes classroom, flight simulator and in-flight training. Your performance in this course determines which stream of advanced training you will undergo.

Complete your assigned stream of Advanced Flying Training. Rotary Wing Training, a four-month course in Portage, trains helicopter pilots; Multi-Engine Training, also a four-month course, takes place in Southport, Manitoba; and Jet Fighter Training takes place in Moose Jaw over a five-month period. Upon completion of your training stream, you will be awarded your pilot wings.

You would have won I was out by 10 months, 30 months to get your wings in Canada not 4 years before you start flight training

in order to complete that training in that time frame you have to have a degree.

That degree will take you about 4 years.

When will you learn that having google is not a qualification?

Poor silly Hoid- still trying to hood wink people with his LIE-beral propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!





There was a Spitfire pilot living in my old neighbourhood- he got about ten weeks training and then got dumped into a fighter squadron in mid August 1940- at the height of the BATTLE OF BRITAIN- to fight against Nazi pilots who had YEARS of preparation and training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is the kind of preparation that LIE-berals under Mackenzie King offered to Cdn military!!!!!!!!!!!!


And this is how Cdns were forced to fight- while Pierre Trudeau rode around Montreal on his Harley bike- wearing a Nazi army uniform and giving the Salmon Arm salute to Jews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Piere also publicly explained that the war against Nazi Germany was nothing more than "British Imperialism"!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Trudeau clan has waged a war of multiple generations against "Cdn Imperialism"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is why LIE-berals want Canada DISARMED ENTIRELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And thi is why we now have a trade war with United States- Our idiot Boy Jusgtin is prepared to DESTROY our Cdn economy just so long as he gets a chance to sneer at Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals assume that if you are stupid enough to put on the uniform then you are dumb enough to take whatever crap LIE-berals want to hand out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And who says RCAF is short so many pilots??????????????


Should the number of pilots not roughly correspond to the number of available FUNCTIONING flying machines??????????????


Since LIE-berals are deliberately starving our military there seems to be no reason to train pilots to fly machines we do not possess



and which LIE-berals will fight tooth and nail NOT TO BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are so anti military that LIE-beral Jean Chretien paid a FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR PENALTY just so he could AVOID buying modern helicopters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are so hostile to the military that LIE-beral Chretien happily paid that $500 million penalty - just so Canada would not have access to good anti submarine helicopters- and tough sh+t that the EH 101`s were also good for Search and Rescue operations as well!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are willing to let commercial fishermen DROWN just so they can avoid buying anything our military might find useful!!!

Well the article says if you have the degree you can skip the first phase so I don't know who to believe you or the website?

A friend of mine (we were in the air force together) has a son who just got his private pilots license last year and joined the armed forces as a pilot.

He is in Kingston right now starting his first year of RMC.

In four years he will graduate and he will go on from there to his pilot training.
