The "abbreviated UPT" course that you speak of is called, "Fixed Wing Qual/Transition". It consists of the same amount of flight hours that the UPT students fly without the "hazing" that new students are usually subjected to. Because of flying twice a day, most days, (double turns) you finish in a lesser amount of time than the normal UPT syllabus.
Any other questions feel free to PM me. I attended the course when it was at Laughlin AFB. (Del Rio by the sea.) If you go in the future, the course is now going to be at Randolph AFB in San Antonio.
