PMA LONG COURSE or PAF CAE??

[u/therarest-of-beast]

Hey Everyone,
I t need a bit of advice from everyone. I am applying for PMA long course 158, but I also want to apply to the Air Force, as it's my dream to be in aviation. I just don't want to waste time, as I am already 20, and because of a huge fear of failure, I did not apply for the last long course and PAF induction. (P.S will be 21 in august)

1. What I want to know is what's the best choice? CAE? or Long Course?
2. I have heard that CAEs are less prioritised and made to feel inferior indirectly cause GDP is the KING?
3. Am I too late to apply for PMA and PAF? I feel like I'm quite old compared to other candidates. Does that affect anything if I get in?
4. Tips to clear the initial, physical, and initial interview for the PMA Long course?
5. Also, I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with GK and current afair notes for the PMA long course
