2 words, well 1 hyphenated word, STOP-LOSS. The exact thing that caused this fighter shortage is now about to happen to the heavy guys. All the UAV, MC-12 and ACC staff jobs that were filled with fighter guys now are going to be filled with heavy guys which in turn will cause a mass exodus just like the fighters. There are enough pilots to fill fighter cockpits but not all the other crap, same thing is going to happen to the heavies. And the heavy guys are getting promoted at lower rates than the fighter guys so that is forcing more out as well. Its going to be comical in about 12-24 months.
