Now knowing that we will be required to apply to all crew positions, should I wait to apply until next year? I want to become an RPA pilot but have a relatively low Pilot AFOQT score (41) and no flight hours. RPA would be by #1 choice followed by pilot, ABM, CSO. With my scores being lower I feel I would more than likely get picked up for the non-piloting AFSCs.
My brain wants me to apply this year, but my gut is telling me to wait so that I can increase my pilot score and get some flight hours. Additionally, I think last year if you got something you didn't want and declined, than you were ineligible to apply to the board again. Any advice would be appreciated.
