Reduced pilot slots for the academy

[PushItUp]

E-mail from cadet personnel at the zoo:

Subject: Reduced Rated Quota for 2014

Good Afternoon,

Please read the entire email carefully .

We have received adjusted rated quotas significantly lower than expected. The rated demand for the Class of 2014 exceeds the amount of pilot slots allocated, for this reason there will be a waiting list for pilot.

Those who meet the specific criteria below are provided the opportunity to adjust their preferences until COB 30 August. To accomplish this please visit Cadet Personnel. ...

There's more to this e-mail but not too much as far as info that matters to anyone on this forum. I'm not complaining whatsoever about getting less pilot slots, just wondering if anyone has a clue if more are just being allocated to ROTC now. I would agree with that being case because everyone and their mom got a slot last year, even dudes who didn't want it at first and figured "Hey, they have more pilot slots? I'm gonna switch from contracting to pilot because it sounds like more fun." And i'll tell you from my perspective....the quality of people getting slots was kinda low.

Anyone have some insight on this?

Yeah they're going to start giving pilot slots only to those cadets who have started their masters and completed SOS (would be ASBC but that died) in correspondence...
