Not to argue with with you SAAB.. but the military has a set schedule... meet it or wash out. Very little slack in the schedule in the time when I went thru...so yes I think schedules can be met..... course the difference is.... how many guys have FBO's washed out cause they just couldnt hack it? VERY few I would suggest... they just keep flying on the hopes they will GET it some day.... Hell I recently was at a flight school and there was a student there who was on HOUR 33 before he soloed a C172........
