Only if you are 60 or less when you hit intro, barring a black swan event. Unless you want to do that, and a surprising amount of people seem to actually be desiring to ride into the sunset as WBFOs, content to go to the sims for landing currency. I am aware of one 63 year old actually getting hired. Needless to say he got first choice in intro, and selected one of the two WBFO slots available in his intro class.
