Okay. Thanks for that. But how would I, a 22 year old graduate, progress in comparison to a guy of 18 straight out of school starting the same day at IOT? I realise pay and promotion are not the be all and end all, and that ranks are probably given out at an individual level. It would just be useful to know whether I will be at an advantage or not (should I get in that is... OASC is 3rd October!).
I just want to be in a cockpit at the end of the day!
