That's exactly why. Sign a 10 year commitment and then only get to fly an actual aircraft for 2-3 years before you're sent to a GCS for the rest of your time. I'm living it right now.

I began to wonder when I found out how many UPT students are going through at the rank of Captain. That tells me younger guys are choosing another profession and they are drawing more pilot candidates as cross flows from other Air Force careers.
