I applied in-person. I interviewed at US Air Force (Jacksonville, FL) in Feb 2014
Interview
You join rotc, ots, or the academy and your personlity and test score determine if you get a pilot slot.You must take the afoqt and tbas. The better you do on the tests, the higher chance you'll have of getting selected. Go get at least 5 hours to determine if you like flying. Although, air force pilot training is designed to have no flight time.
Stressful interview did not get any scholarship, then they are not committed to joining the Air Force until they start their junior year of college.
With Air Force ROTC, we provide them with lots of opportunities to see what the Air Force is about before signing up. And while they are waiting, they are a college education and having a lot of fun.
No real interview...but an intense screening process. Ground tests, flight screening, under grad pilot training, then follow on training for your specific aircraft. Flying is the easy part, using the aircraft as a weapons system is the challenging part.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Air Force (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
Friendly the demeanor of the interviewer was very calm and reassuring. They basically talked about the benefits for f the company and the hat the training is like. The next step was the lightest and this was a iOS to a landing. Pretty basic and easy stuff.
