Frequently Asked Questions
How many pilots are you hiring?
Historically, we will hire 1 or 2 UPT candidates along with a couple of alternates in case any of the primary candidates are disqualified.
Will you offer age waivers?
No. Candidates must start UPT prior to reaching the age 33 maximum, therefore applicants born before 23 June 1993 will not be considered at this time.
May I come to visit / "rush" the squadron?
We are not open to individual squadron visits this year. However, a UPT social will be announced on this site, details TBD.
Is this for the F-15 or F-35?
F-35. If selected, you will go straight to the F-35 B-Course following UPT and IFF.
