That is not correct. I also know plenty of qualified guys that are just waiting on a call in my squadron alone. Most are bummed about the flow/guaranteed interview, but that's how it is. This career is about luck and timing. Bad time for mil dudes trying to go to DAL IMO (also civ dudes that don't fly for a compass or pinnacle).

Hate to tell you but that is so far off it's not even funny. I don't even think guys here have been getting UAV's on drop night.....at least not enough to even think about it.....

I believe you might be a bit misinformed on the amount of mil pilots doing the UAV thing. The vast majority still fly real airplanes.

I thought UAV drivers (RPAs I believe is the more PC name these days) were going to get their own track so the USAF didn't waste their time and tax payer money on getting a person trained to fly only to have them go to a booth. My guess is that it's either up and running now as a training school, or close to established. In such an event I'd think there wouldn't be a drop night to include both piloted aircraft and RPAs.

RPA Ramp Up
Air Force officials announce remotely piloted aircraft pilot training pipeline
Feature - 18X pilots learn RPAs first
The truth shall set you free, UPT grads are still getting RPAs if no jets available, but numbers are low. Plus UPT grads incur a 10 yr commitment, so they aren't leaving AF anytime soon.
