Just had an article sent to me that the Navy is running a Warrant Officer flight crew program. I have not heard that the AF is doing anything of the kind; in fact we're shedding pilots.
Here's part of the article:
"Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola commissioned its newest Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Dec. 1.
Aviation Warfare Systems Operator 1st Class Robert Reyes, along with 13 other Sailors Navywide, received his CWO bars as part of the Flying Chief Warrant Officer Pilot program. Ten pilots and four naval flight officers (NFO) were selected for the 2006 trial run of the program, and 10 pilots and six NFOs will be chosen in 2007."
