I thought I would throw this out there....

The wait at Army Flight school is about 8 months to start. Kind of a lot like being on casual status for you Flight-Level Flyers. When asked, a lot of the answers to the problems was an IP shortage. I am thinking about piping up about the Army doing some type of FAIP program to minimize the wait and get operational pilots to a unit.

Out of a class of 26, I would say 4 would be FAIP'd after tracking to teach in either their MWS or the trainer since LSI has such a hard time filling IP slots.

Thoughts? Anyone heard of the Army trying this in the past?
