School list doesn't drop until next week - that release will change things somewhat. It'll still be lower than desired & needed.

AF: “We have a massive pilot shortage! They’re leaving in droves. We need more money to fix this.”

Congress: “You’re not getting more money, and It’s beginning to sound like you’ve been mismanaging your organization...”

AF: “Actually, we just fixed everything. We’re good now.”

Make that two of us.

I guess I was the bottom ~25% of my year group according to the Air Force.  Maybe I should start working like the shit bag Big Blue believes I am.  Come in late, two hour lunch, gym at about 2, go home after the gym...

Slide says current as of 29 April. Downgrade for SA

Spend a lot more time with your family and are a lot less stressed to.

Last number I heard was 46.7% take rate across the board with two weeks to go. My strategy of promotion via attrition is on track.
