Minstral,
I am in the same position as you are.
Who told you? It strikes me as rather silly (so not totally outside of the RAF's logic
) to ask those who were going on course 211 to apply to October, November and February IOTs if they weren't going to accept any pilots for them.
I think all we can do is sit tight whilst someone goes through the selection for who goes on which IOT - probably about as logical as who wins the Eurovision song fixi....erm..contest
