I think what he meant was that it's pretty difficult for a fighter guy to get to 2000 in 10 years, you're far more likely to have way less. And getting to 3000....probably not going to happen unless you count UAV hours logged.
As for heavies, obviously depends on the community but we don't exactly fly our asses off for years on end either. There's a lot of non flying assignments out there.
So, in sum, you're right, in the AF we don't pile on hours. However we do get some quality time.
