Sorry chap, I am afraid I agree with most of those who have commented. My advice would be to re-apply as an ATC or FC, and serve the time until you can re-apply for pilot. This would enable the RAF to have a long look at you and see that you remain hayfever free for the required period.

If you qualify as a controller, you will be a better pilot for it. If I were assessing your future application, I would see this as demonstrating your commitment.

I am sure there are those who will argue that if you have to fly you have to fly, and the civvy route may well suit you better - on the other hand, I doubt there is any comparison between fast jet mil flying and 'bus-driving' a 737 from Luton to wherever 4-times a week.
