Why? Because I would obviously prefer to be in the right-hand seat of the said Seahawk. And obviously any more time taken to apply for a new job role may be the amount of time it takes to get the offer for pilot anyway.
The point is, the Government will waste many dollars on the recruiting process if I just walk away out of sheer frustration... It's a totally inefficient process which has mainly been outsourced to a private contractor in order to "save money". None of these concerns or possibilities are discussed at JOES day. No-one says; "It could take one or two years to join, are you okay with that?" It just didn't happen.
