Block 17 of the application reads: "IF I AM SELECTED FOR EAD IN A NON-FLYING CAPACITY, I HEREBY VOLUNTARILY REQUEST PERMANENT SUSPENSION FROM FLYING STATUS" (check yes or no)
A few questions for the thread:
Will one be considered for non-flying positions if they were to check no?
What's the process (painfulness) of getting back on status if one were to re-apply to a flying ARC billet?
Most importantly, will it affect flight pay? What if the aviator has met the necessary gate months to continue flight pay?
