Is there anything other than good PFT scores, good ASTB scores, getting my GPA up, and getting good recommendations that will significantly help my chances of getting selected for PLC? I was reading a thread on this subject a couple of weeks ago, but my searching skills are apparently lacking and I cant find it.
Second question is if those of you that have gone through flight school feel that having taken civilian flight lessons before API and Primary would have made a significant difference in your scores? I know it obviously would help, but I can't really afford flight lessons of any kind. I can however take out a school loan and pay for it that way, but I dont want to go into debt if it will not improve my grades very much. I am not talking about trying to get a civilian license, but will a significant number of private lessons improve my grades very much? Just to be clear I am not asking if the flight time will help me get a flight slot, but I am asking IF I can get a flight slot will it give me much of an edge in flight school?
