FSgt L,
Not that this will come as a consolation, but I had a chat with a past career manager and he noted that MOC offers are (or should be) based on projected PMLs (a.k.a. preferred manning levels) for any MOC. The next bit is unofficial and taken with a grain of salt, but indications are that in 5 or 6 years time, pilots will likely be in demand (recall Air Canada purchased a chunck of B777 and B787's). Officially, this clairvoyance may not have translated into a hard projection of MOC candidates at this time.
This is where some poker playing skills may come in to play...fold, hold, raise...? If you do accept the ROTP offer with CELE(Air) as the MOC, you can imagine that at some point in the future, OT to pilot may be a possibility. The issue for you, however, is not having gone to CFACS in Trenton...I honestly don't know how this would affect any attempt you might make to OT in the future. My firends who OT'd to pilot were navs already and thus had an established aircrew factor. What you have to think would happen would be three things...1) Pilot will be open for OT, 2) CELE(Air) will be overborne or at least let guys go, and 3) you will be accepted to attend ACS. Don't have any answers for you at this point, but at least that may help your consideration of your situation.
Cheers,
Duey
