Here we go with this stupid argument again by people who haven't taught at UPT in the last 3-5 years or ever. They aren't sending any fighter guys to UPT anymore , period as of a year or so ago because of the shortage. Before that , a BML had 8 of 8 go to Ops including non-vols because of manning and the very next one had 1 of 8 Ops. And he problem starts in T-6s for the studs and not 38s. There is zero fighter awareness or culture in T-6s anymore besides maybe the SQ CC so all these kids hear shot for their first 6 months is how you don't want 38s, that's lame , go heavys and travel the world. So we start with getting non-vol that wanted Tones. Now you have to show them that 38s aren't what they have heard from across the street at all. Another problem is nunber 1 and 2 in T-6s get their first choice so if they want T-1s, fine. But now you have middle of the class person who gets 38s and then drops a F-16 even though they are last in the class. Could anyone fly it ? Potentially. But IMO a lot more class As are heading our way soon.
