74 More Squadrons?

[Bigred]

Part of the reason I’m able to work the transfer from the Navy to the Air Force is because of the need for pilots.

 

Where does the Air Force plan on getting dudes to fill these squadrons?

Maybe Deborah James can help.  I hear she’s good manpower problems.

Don't blame Deborah James for our current pilot crisis...she was focusing on the real problems in the Air Force.

What exactly does this mean?

"This year, in addition to seeking officers demonstrating commitment to the welfare of our airmen and to our core values, I am using my authority to instruct board members to find officers who have demonstrated that they will nurture and lead in a diverse and inclusive Air Force culture," James said."

And there you go, no longer based on merit but the whim of the current political climate, sound familiar?
