All pilots in the canadian airforce have to go through the NFTC not just the top few

What about the pilots of the Canadian airforce. With what there able to do with what equipment and budget they work on takes a very highly skilled pilot.They have always down very well in excercises, competitions etc.Now all pilots go through the state of the art NTFC and givin the open skys they can fly in make them the best trained pilots for the forseeable future
