Disclaimer: Notwithstanding 1,000 hrs in the T-38, I'm not "pointy-nose". I can't know the inner workings of a fighter unit, so my comments/questions are generic.
Have you had this conversation with your flight commander or ops officer?
Is your squadron over-manned, or under-provided with flight training hours?
Are you faced with a nucleus of folks that deployed together a lot? If the schedule is limited, then the scheduler is always gonna take care of himself and his buds.
Is there a niche you could fill that is valuable to them? For example, I was in airlift. Those squadrons had qualifications like nuclear airlift, airdrop, and special ops that made certain pilots "special".
Like I said, I was never a fighter guy. But, I can clearly remember the feeling of being "new". It was my third assignment. I'd done Desert Storm airlift, and followed that with 3+ years in the -38. I stroll into my new airlift squadron, I'm a middle-to-senior O-3, and I can just sort of tell--I'm really not particularly wanted or needed. I felt that way the whole three years at that assignment. Perhaps that's just how it is, sometimes.
