Default Chances of getting an Air Force pilot slot

What are my chances of getting an Air Force pilot slot out of OTS? I am currently an aviation pro flight major at a 141 school. I only have 1 year left so its too late for Afrotc. When I graduate I will have my commercial pilots license, instrument rating, multi-engine rating, CFI and around 300 to 400 total flight hours. So if I go to OTS after I graduate what will be my chances of getting a pilot slot?

^^This. You will know your job before showing up at OTS. Look at baseops.net as well.

Its not too late for ROTC. Stay an extra year, start on your masters, you'll need it anyway. Many an ROTC grad did ROTC as grad students.

You have no chance of getting it.
Give up and look elsewhere.

"What are my chances?"

"Not good."

"You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?"

"I'd say more like one out of a million."

"So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*"



I kid .... just do your research and give it a shot. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Go to the Air Force Academy. They get around 500 pilot slots per year for about 900 graduates.
