getting fired would be better

But then we couldn’t cut training and lie and say we’re innovative and agile. Instead of just saying, we want to produce more pilots, senior leaderships has determined this is the ALR to produce more pilots with resource constraints.

The Air Force is trying to divest whole airframes. There wont be another trainer. The best to be hoped for is congress stops the t-6 divestment, forces a full ARP, and we go back to GUPT.

The one positive is if a T-6 only FAIP fails PIT it’s an automatic FEB waiver and they get send to the MAF

Only MAF allocated T-6 FAIPs are T-6 only. CAF T-6 FAIPs are still T-38 trained. (Read better pilots) The last AETC/A3/6 signed a memo authorizing it countersigned by the HAF/A3T.

The T-6s have a lot of life in the airframes. AETC just needs to do the ARP to the entire fleet.

A ENJJPT IPT CONOP was briefed/being briefed to the latest steering committee meeting. I haven’t asked the guy what the outcome was. I know there has been some “talk” about how the T-6s are all owned by the USAF, so if we get rid of them, tough shit NATO has no choice. They are also the last base to get the T-7 so they would keep their T-6s last too. To your final point, this came up in 2020-2021 at the HQ AETC level. Air Staff stated FTU/Ops is a separate issue, pilot production’s job is just to produce 1500 pilots, it doesn’t matter how long follow-on takes. Or AETC cuts the syllabi to produce more wingman/copilots.

There will be a second buy. Boeing is going to no lube us on the prices. As of now the total syllabus (including employment) is just under 90 hours. Non-CAF tracked studs will get around 40-45 hours.

Obviously you have no clue what you’re talking about. IPT is just the part 141 portion of FUPT. All students still fly the T-6. Tanker/Airlift/SOF/Recce/MAF FAIPs students then go to their FTU or T-6 PIT. Fighter/Bomber/CAF FAIPs will go fly the T-38 and be the first to fly the T-7 at IOC. CBM is MOB 2. When the T-6 sunsets, everyone at that base will fly the T-7 at FOC..

That’s not what he’s implying. He also lead the charge to get rid of the instrument approach (waiver) out of the T-6 fundamental checkride because SPs already learned to fly instruments at IPT. He’s removing items that provide data that doesn’t support his “SGTO”

Well Leard is wondering why T-6s have specific go around procedures or why SPs get graded on it, because he didn’t do it that way in the C-17. He wants “military pilots,” not “T-6 pilots.” He has never done ab initio/undergraduate training so he’s out of his element Donnie.

It’s not about smaller plane, biz jets can fly higher and faster which makes their sensors more useful. Also, Boeing is terrible at producing aircraft now.

Yup, get a Bombadier/SAAB Global Eye or a E-37B. High/Fast

CBM wants to setup a pre-IPT or post-IPT immersion/seminar. the SPs are having a really hard time transitioning to military flying because the ESA 141s basically have no standards and don’t have the same rca/rm decision making/debriefing/briefing/checklist discipline.

So for the whole 1500 pilots a year thing, that was airstaff under Welsh or Goldfein. The AETC bobs did bring up FTU absorption and were told, it doesn’t matter, make 1500 pilots.
