Thanks jjj for the reply..I have thought hard about it...I like the Mil way of life and I guess I will be close enough to AC...I will still continue to fly..while I am in...the Raf needs pilots so what is to stop me transfering with the right quals?? There was a guy on this forum about a week ago who is 27 and with an ATPL who is trying to get in. What is the AIB anyway??
