"Not intellectually equipped" so, so true. Unfortunately for the AF and Navy, the US civilian airline pilot mandatory retirements the next decade are unprecedented in US aviation history. Not to mention the Asian carriers that are offering big $ for pilots (their growth is just beginning). The hiring boom is just getting started.
The Dum-dums that run the AF and Navy better do something ASAP.
