Since your promised five year flow has evaporated (not that it was ever going to be anyway), it’s better for all if those that can do something else for a while do so and prevent a few of your prized cadets from being furloughed and stuck in momma’s basement without a reason to leave their video games.
As a military guy don't act like your **** doesn't stink. A lot of RTP guys got their fixed wing ratings from these AA regionals (you're welcome). Many of them also struggled through the 121 training pipeline. A lot of Mil guys also took advantage of the system by dropping orders soon after being hired sometimes for years (conveniently saving their "promised five year flow" spot).
So sorry the promised flow didn't work out for you. But don't be so quick to **** on the cadets. A lot of them were making bottom dollar for AA while you were off using your multiple talents.
