Pretty descent interview I heard on NPR today here in Texas regarding the airlines taking pilots away from the Air Force. Nothing earth shattering for those of us on the forums, but I figured I'd share.
WHY CAN’T THE AIR FORCE KEEP ITS PILOTS?
Best quote I heard from the reporter regarding all the work that Air Force pilots do that does not involve flying:
"But here's the thing I don't understand though... why would it not be in the best interest of the Air Force to do something about the box-checking and all the things that go on behind the scenes [non-flying ground jobs]... something to make becoming a fighter pilot more attractive?"
hmm...
