But I kind of like the idea of giving everyone who does well enough in T-6's (and wants fast flyers) a shot in the T-38...

This already happens... It's called track select- if you don't do well enough in T-6's(tweets) you don't get what you want.

Do well enough, and you can choose(T-38, T-1, UH-1, T-44(back then)).

Good luck with your pursuit of an interview, personally I would try to receive more that transmit.

I meant more of passing a benchmark instead of a class ranking... But roger: mouth shut, ears open.

Nothing to add really, just want to post on page 69!

I've never been so ashamed of my post before... Now I read it like "The top 1% of the top 1% gets to fly fighter jets... I want to make it so that EVERYBODY in UPT gets T-38's and goes straight into flying F-22s".... *end of Bernie impersonation*

Or there's the way the Navy/Marines do it where you are judged based on the last 200 studs that go through rather than a small sample size of 14.

CBM B-52 from T1s was a special situation mil-mil marriage that had to go wayyyy up the chain to get approved, but it shows they are willing to start considering that. 

I think one of the FAIPs was T-1s.

Was a pretty good drop overall, seriously nothing to complain about from any of those studs.

FWIW: IFF just graduated the largest class ever (15) yesterday, and there are two more classes right behind them the same size. While this should have happened a long time ago, change is happening.

They need it. The latest rumor is all 38 trained FAIPs will see a pointy nose, no bombers for those guys.

I heard all 38 FAIPs were getting Bombers to help out that community so that the younger FreshoutaUPT kids still have 10 year sentences...er... commitments in fighters...

What were they thinking?  T-1s are no place to prepare new pilots for a large airplane or the CRM that goes with it.

I agree that bombers should come out of the T-1 pipeline as well, I'd imagine they would be fought over.  I bet big blue just sees the T-38 grads as future T-38 instructors though, just my view from the peanut gallery.

Buff FAIP drop? Geez, did that guy/gal piss off leadership?  

Why would they give him a bomber when we're desperate to fill fighter cockpits?

any rumors/explanations on why he got the shaft?   This doesn't sound like "luck of the draw"

[matmacwc]

I'm sure the blue talking point will be somewhere along the line of, "We need good dudes in every community."  This is true, but if he was such a good dude, there is a skeleton there somewhere not many know about, thats usually how it works.
