Actually, the tide is turning on that.
The latest CSAF letter (2 Nov 11, "2011 Rated Summit Decisions") actually shows that fighter pilot production will increase notably in the next few years.
There are new FTUs for both the F-16 and F-15C that are going to open to handle the new wave of students. Crew ratios for the A-10 are increasing and, in his words, "we will singnificantly increase F-22 FTU throughput."
So, the UAV clan hasn't won yet.
I wonder if he has been watching the news regarding the Super Committee lately?
