If you come here on COS18 and are expecting a command, you will be extremely disappointed. KA will cease to exists beyond 5 years me thinks and COS18 pilots are just as Gnadenburg points out, seat fillers who are cheap and disposable ( more so than the rest of us ). RRO is only open to officers with at least 10 years in rank and therefore any illusion of getting it as a COS18 pilot is a pipe dream.
