  1. With this major shortage of pilots that the AF is currently dealing with, is there any hope of a FWQ course or equivalent ever returning? How about a transfer from Army C-12's? I know this topic has been covered before but info changes over time.
  2. So do the normal age limits apply for that then? Or do they age waiver prior Army flyers? It just baffles me that the Air Force won't look at an Army high time c-12 pilot any differently from a guy off the street, then send them through the full undergraduate pilot program. It just seems like a massive waste of money, time, and talent.
  3. I think I would most definitely want to do the guard/reserve route, although I'll talk to an active duty rep just to see what the career outlook would be like. Again I'll be 32-33 and it just seems like the reserve/guard would be the most realistic route to take.
  4. I know they can waiver for helos only but my interest would be heavies or fighters. I have no idea how they handle prior Army FW pilots as there are very few of us young enough to even entertain a transfer.
  5. Current Army C-12 aviator here. Since the demolition of the Air Force FWQ, I'm assuming that on occasion you get some high hour Army fixed wing bubbas and/or prior helo guys in upt. I was just curious if they go through the exact same curriculum/same hours/etc as the regular students (Seems silly that I'd need the full academic curriculum/the full flight hour load if I already had 1000+ hours in a C-12 and 500+ in a Hawk). Also curious how many guys you all see going through UPT above age 30. Thanks!
  6. So is there a definitive answer? Would an Army Warrant C-12 pilot with several years/hundreds of hours of flight time have to go through the whole AF/ANG UPT? Would the 30 year old age limit apply? Or the 35 year old OTS limit?
