APPLICATIONS for new pilots in the RAF are still being taken, despite reports that up to 50 trainees face the axe at a local air base.
They are still accepting applications now and are putting those who have recently applied through the selection process. If they can afford to do this now, I see no reason why they wouldn't continue to so in 2011/2012. You really are going to have to be the best of the best though, even though they are still recruiting, the number of vacancies available is sure to drop, don't take my word for it though, I'm no expert.
Let's just hope this story is true, I've wanted to join the RAF for a long time and have worked hard to prepare myself for the selection process, it would be a real dissapointment to be turned away before I even get a shot due to cuts.
Good luck to you in the future
