I'm not saying don't pursue it if you want it, just that it's a likely cause as to why Blue 21 went away.
Understandable as to why it's over-saturated, and their reasons for essentially canceling the Blue-21 program... the recruiter said there's always applying for OCS and "hoping" you could get a pilot slot.... as most of you know there's NO guarantees in life, I'm a pilot and have been for a long time now... there's no way I'd take a "chance" and hope to get a slot... my luck I'd get stuck on a boat, or become a chef or something crazy.
Thanks for all the help though guys.
