After expressing a desire to start the command process (min 2000, full ATPL, and base captain recommendation) you have to Complete 2 personality evaluation tests, and have an interview with a pyscologist. Gets graded green, Amber or red. Green means continue and Over the next year you’ll be rostered 3 evaluation flights with a trainer. Aim is Check that you’re proficient in current role and have spare capacity required for command. Next, in-line with requirements and placing on command waiting list you’ll be rostered and command sim assessment and interview with a TRE. This is the big hurdle - pass this and then the command review board will confirm you’re suitability and you’ll get a command course depending on base choices and position on waiting list. Current requirements are 3000 total and 1000 heavy jet. However, realistically even with those already it’ll still take 18 months min to get though the process.
