false. the air force has been very successfully producing pilots...for a long time. production is not a "significant part of the problem". that type of thinking IS the problem.
if a water pipe in my house breaks i don't call the water company and tell them they need to pump more water to my house. "you're not producing enough water!"
it's ridiculous when you think of it that way.
someone needs to stand up with some cojones and say "no we cannot fix this with production. production is not the problem. and we will make unintended problems trying to increase production on 50 year old aircraft or cutting syllabus sorties."
but that's not built into how we think in the military. every problem is "solvable".
Bottom line the Air Force is hanging their hat on the economy turning sour and airines slowing hiring.
Theyre using stop gaps to hopefully get us to the next recession
