Next Recruitment Period for Officer Aircrew Roles

Royal Air Force did not have the information requested.

Dear Royal Air Force,

It is my intention to join the RAF as officer aircrew in one of three roles. Currently, all of these roles are not recruiting. My preferred role is Pilot, which I enquired about in late 2021, and have registered interest for.

If possible, I would like to know when recruitment windows for the following roles are expected to re-open:

- Pilot
- Weapon Systems Officer
- RPAS Pilot

Yours faithfully,

Tom Foxlow

Dear [email address],

Thank you for your response to this request. I appreciate that a date cannot be given for this, however, I was previously told, in response to FOI2021 09635, that the pilot branch was expected to reopen in late spring/summer 2022, as quoted below:

"It is anticipated that the Pilot Branch will reopen in late Spring/Summer 2022. However,
please note that these dates may be subject to change."

Of course this is subject to change, however, I would like to request additional confirmation as to whether this forecast is still accurate, as it would greatly benefit my short-term planning to have an idea of the timescale I am working with.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Foxlow
