No, his other FTS jobs
might be flying jobs. There will also be staff jobs, XO or CO jobs, etc. Big and grey are not in the scopes of FTS officers. Deployments or overseas assignments are still a possibility. Four years in FTS would probably also put him close to military retirement. At that point, it's a pretty critical decision as to whether you stay AD, go reserves, or jump ship altogether (sticking with Navy lingo...).
