  1. All of the advice - solid. The young lady did not wish to speak with you, so you gave your time anyway. Generous. I think I would say this to any young person about the RAF. Understand how small/elite its become. There are very few seats and very few chances to get a shot at those seats. If you go for any interview, and I mean any - you better been bang on the money and you need to have put in the ground work. Even compared to the past, I would estimate that with so few seats being possible, its going to be a very very high bar to even get a look in. When I was a kid :- Combat aircraft 229x Tornado GR1 / GR1A — additional 26x GR1 on order 165x Tornado F2 / F3 — additional 15x F3 on order 100+ Phantom FG1 / FGR2 14x Phantom F-4J(UK) F3 100+ Jaguar GR1 / GR1A / T2 80+ Harrier GR3 / T4 94x Harrier GR5 / GR7 — deliveries ongoing 65+ Buccaneer S2B 36x Nimrod MR2 Special mission 3x Nimrod Nimrod R1 6x Avro Shackleton AEW2 Sentry AEW1 — 7x on order 40+ Canberra PR9 / T17 7x Andover E3 / E3A Cargo and aerial refuelling 14x Victor K2 13x Vickers VC10 C1 4x/5x Vickers VC10 K2 / K3 9x Tristar K1 / KC1 6x Hercules C1K 24x Hercules C1 / C1P 30x Hercules C1 / C3 6x Andover C1 6x Andover CC2 — VIP Flight 2x BAe 146 CC2 — 1x on order, Queen's Flight 4x/2x/6x BAe 125 CC1 / CC2 / CC3 2x Pembroke C1 Helicopters 36x Chinook HC1 41x Puma HC1 18x Sea King HAR3 65x Wessex HC2 2x Wessex HCC4 — Queen's Flight 27x Gazelle HT2 / HT3 3x Gazelle HCC4 — VIP Flight Trainers 117x Bulldog T1 62x Chipmunk T10 163x Provost T3A / T5A 160+ Hawk T1 / T1A 12x Hunter T7 / T8 20x Dominie T1 — navigation trainer 2x Jetstream T1 Tucano T1 — 130x on order, deliveries beginning in December 1989 And today - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_United_Kingdom_military_aircraft

  2.  @FastJetPerformance  I think most people have forgotten how large the RAF was, even in years where the UK was broke. Or let me put it another way. A total of 890 Meteors were lost in RAF service (145 of these crashes occurring in 1953 alone), resulting in the deaths of 450 pilots. That's more than double current RAF plane numbers in total, and the deaths would equate to a 1-1 or worse loss of pilots. (Assuming 400 planes/400 pilots). Not long after WW2 and in an era of still rationed poverty. So - yea, to have a shot a seat today, you are gonna in theory need to not just be cream of the crop, but cream of the cream, and then some.
