So, let me get this right....The current list is 2-3 years long, which means that unless you join as an SFO (because you need to be in order to be considered for command), and on a permanent contract (also required to be considered for command), the earliest you'd expect to command as a new joiner is 2-3 years minimum?
Therefore, if you join as anything other than SFO, e.g., SO, or Parc contract, you could spend 2-3 years waiting before you're even eligible for command, meaning the total time to command would be between 4-6 years, ie. the same as what we were told a new joiner cadet would expect to do.
So the question I have is, why were they asking for experienced FO's? And what are easy up to with these applicants?!
