The ongoing shortage of USAF pilots is not getting any better... reports Military.com:
"In fiscal 2020, the Air Force came up 1,925 pilots short of the roughly 21,000 it needs to conduct worldwide operations, spokeswoman Lt. Col. Malinda Singleton told Military.com on Thursday. The service could not provide a breakdown of types of pilot communities -- such as mobility and fighter -- still experiencing manning gaps."
One possible solution? Farm out the pilot training to private companies!
"The idea is to reach out to industry and see how you all might be able to support, provide ideas, and provide information that will help us as we formulate our plans moving forward," Maj. Gen. Craig Wills, 19th Air Force commander, said in a news release.
