Service pilots are welcome in civil aviation as long as there is a level playing field, no nudge, nudge about squadrons or getting ahead because they flew upside down and the rest of us have to keep the blue bit on top.
When a large number arrive together in an airline disaster looms. Especially if they all move into training and/or management.
Otherwise good luck.

not at the moment from what i gather.
if you previously applied under the managed path (and are still serving) i think you can continue to send them updates regarding eligible exit dates.
else wait until it opens up again. not sure about managed path but for DEPs sounds like 2014 at the moment.

Personally, when I'm flying as SLF I'd be quite happy (read relieved) to have someone who knows how to fly with the brown bit on top, without crashing, in the right hand seat. Probably have fewer confidence inspiring incidents like that at Smartlynx a few days ago, if we did! And I'm sorry, the management comment is simply ludicrous, could I take the time to introduce you to some of our civil managers?. I'm not ex-forces either!

Am I the only one who read the Title of this Thread with an agricultural stock-keeping theme in mind?
Depending on emphasis to my mind it could have seemed BA pilots were getting rogered..again

I wouldn't be surprised if the new agreement with L3 for white-tail cadets would potentially put managed path way down the priority list...

Not everyone wants to be bullied, told exactly what to do and when. Not everyone wants to be Govenment property.
There is no elite in the servies. Services do the dirty work, for the elite.

Somebody clearly failed Air Force selection
With the benefit of hindsight I probably would have had a far easier time in this game if I had been in the services but there you go, I chose my path many years ago for better or worse.

Despite what some might think, nobody is born as an air force pilot. That is purely a matter of choice. Being a female pilot, the only choice available was to be a pilot, the other half of that situation was an 'accident of birth'. However, if this Thread had been the way wiggy had suggested, the agricultural aspect of it would have been of far more concern!!

I understand BA recruited a number of service pilots (FJ and Multis) via the ‘Managed Path’ scheme in 2016/17.
1500hrs and a frozen ATPL was the requirement.
Was it a success and will manage path happen in the future?
