Read a few posts in here, and a couple of Blogs floating about out there that SUGGEST - but don't say definitively - that it MAY be possible to progress through the Pilot training steps a little faster...
For example, after BMOQ, I've heard that *IF* "proficient" en francais, it's possible to skip that first OJT period and then language training, and move straight towards the next available PFT at Southport. I did well in highschool french, and have a basic understanding... would be willing to study like crazy in meantime (Rosetta Stone at home, or something similar?) in order to avoid months of OJT, then more months at St. Jean, then more months on OJT again before PFT.
Consequently, I've also heard that if already in possession of Commercial license (and Multi-IFR?), then they MAY skip over PFT entirely and place a trainee directly into Phase II - Basic Flight Training. From all I've read about the PFT course, this makes sense, as nothing I've seen so far in the descriptions I've read - with the exception of some CF policies and procedures - seems completely unique to military aviation.
Now, of course I could be totally out in left field here.... hence the post seeking confirmation or quashing!
Thanks in advance, all!
