No need to wait. Make you plans known and if they need you they will get you sooner than later.
how do the guys in charge decide what aircraft type you end up on and how much choice do you have in the matter? Is it like NCA where its just a matter of bums on seats, or do you have a little more input where you end up?
First it is your aptitude and skills. If you are brilliant as FJ then that is where they would send you.
Secondly you can ask. You will be looked at and considered in that light before they send you to FJ.
Thirdly bums on seats. No seats in RW thenthey will send you ME or whatever.
