Also heard that you only once ever get a choice of fleet - true??
a choice will be offered of available aircraft types and course dates and the eligible officers may choose to accept or decline if your perference fleet isn't avaliable.
In term of flying patterns, i (personally) perfer the 744, as stated by other boardmates 3-3.5 ULH / mo and that is, even less if you have sims for that month, lots of Gs. The pattern is more complex for the bus, besides those 3 days Aus, you also have the chance to receive the 5 days BKK-KHI (with 2 mid-nite T/R Bkk-KHI). not that hard but not a nice one.
