Well it sounds like your application is very competitive. It may be just a case of waiting that little bit longer for a spot to open up. You could try calling Tamworth FSP to try and get an idea of where you're currently sitting in the pool. I was medically cleared around the end of July and have been placed in the Feb 12 FSP so thats a solid 6/7 months, I also considered myself fairly competitive.
Also, did you say you would consider an ACO position? That would be why they are offering you the OSB for that first as opposed to FSP.
Hopefully you hear some positive news soon.

Thanks ARJM,
I am just worried about the waiver I got. I am hoping they dont see it and push me to the bottom of the pool. I don't have the courage to call FSP and see where I am hahaha. I am just wondering how the will interpret the waiver?
On the other end I demolished my assessment day which demonstrates my leadership ability and and life experience. Resume was great and had 5 references, one being an air force scholarship within the Air Force Cadets.
SO essentially it is trying to pick what matters more, test scores or assessment day??
I am sure I will get a spot but there is always that train of uncertainty that fills your mind with doubt. In regards to ACO i put it as my second preference as I wanted to demonstrate I am keen to be an officer but I don't think I would like to be an ACO or JBAC.
Also, apparently they are getting desperate for pilots? Can anyone shed some light?

Yeah definitely seems like you tick all the boxes mate. I don't know how they view waivers though. You would think that having a PPL would mean your proficiency in gauge reading is a given.
I would definitely recommend you give them a call mate. I think it shows eagerness. Otherwise just wait it out as I'm sure you won't be far off getting the call (or email).
Good luck mate

Well looks like a good day,
I am on the FSP that starts on Sunday the 26th to Saturday the 11th of March.
Got the email today and confirmed ASAP.
Looks like my waiver did not impact at all. It was a 4 month break including the Christmas period.
Is there a whatsapp or discussion group we all can join?
