CNRC has selected 221 pilots for 2004 and have only 201 slots open. That is why the rumor about pilot being closed UFN. They are waiting for natural attrition to bring the numbers into alignment. Some late year OCS dates for pilots may slide if the numbers don't come down. If you are a BDCP applicant and don't graduate for a couple years they will still look at ya. We are talking FY05-FY06. From application being received to even being considered by the board is 30 days for both pilot and NFO. They have about 50 apps on the desk at any given time. NFO is still open. Give NFO serious consideration. If you haven't talked to an NFO or even a pilot crewed with NFOs you probably don't know what it is all about.
