This is not accurate. I don't think there were any UAV assignments in '14 for UPT grads and the AF now has a specific AFSC for UAV pilots. I'm sure they are still pulling from current pilots to fill billets but not from UPT grads, at least not in any significant numbers and most definitely not 50%. It's definitely a possibility for any active duty pilot in the future so the point is still valid.
