Hawkeye - I don't know how many additional 'fighter only' groups there were beyond the early Jan. interview group.
The increase in Fast Pass was unrelated to generating more mil, civ, or non fighter mil slots.
AA recruiting has always spoken with, and accepted a resume, from someone who talked with us. Conference floor requirements were going to put a crimp on that this year. I'm guessing recruiting evaluated the number of pilot volunteers they had and said "how many can we handle?" That's my $.02.
