Incorrect. If you have more than one engine you can log multi time. The centerline thrust restriction only restricts you from acting as PIC of an aircraft without centerline thrust. It takes about $1000 and a weekend at a local flight school to get the restriction removed. I think the restriction is also removed when you get your ATP if I'm not mistaken.

That's a little misleading unless you're including FAIPs that go fighters after their FAIP tour. On average, only about 3-4 AD T-38 slots are given out per class. A UPT class is generally 20-25 people which equates to less than 20% that go T-38's. Out of those 3-4 AD guys one usually gets FAIPed. Keep in mind that you can also get a bomber out of T-38's which would lower that number even more.
