Hi FlyingDr95

My understanding of the process is all 3 services will have a look at your file when it is in the distribution pool to determine if you are fit for entry. In some cases, you may get recommended at Flight Screening but you may be deemed unsuitable for entry into some services depending on how well you did during the application process. For example, one service may put more emphasis on flying ability, and one may also prefer leadership skills. If you were good in one area and lacked in another, a service may basically rule you out of the pool so the people at Pilot Selection Flight don't send your file when the asked by the people in Canberra, who ultimately select the candidates. So when they say that it is being looked at, it may be this preliminary review by a service. I may be wrong here, but from my experience this is the process. Also, usually you will get the call from the people at Flight Screening to send your file away for selection, not DFR. Hope this helps
