Guitarboy,
Just because you have a CPL does not guarantee a pilot position in the IAF.You will have to go through the training process and the standards are very much higher than the civilian sector. If you don't make it past the flying you will be "grounded" and since you have signed on the dotted line, you will be a "groundwallah" for the remainder of your contract with no option of getting out.Think this through really carefully.You may think you have the ability to fly but it is not you who gets to decide and the curriculum is pretty high pressure stuff.
