Absolutely not - that's one of the main points of the Wings Cadets programme. Desire and motivation is far more important.

I don't think it's necessarily a deciding factor, but I got similar results and the impression I got is that they notice it and maybe look upon it favourably in terms of your ability to learn and succeed. I'm only speculating, though - I don't know that for certain.

There is a page dedicated to this on the CTC website.
