Air Force Warns It Is Short 1,926 Pilots

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Air Force is being stretched to the limit, with budget constraints and a growing pilot shortage, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson and Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein told a news briefing on Thursday.

"The fiscal year '18 continuing resolution is actually delaying our efforts to increase the readiness of the force," Wilson said. "And risk accumulates over time, and you just don't know exactly when things will break. But we are stretching the force to the limit, and we need to start turning the corner on readiness."
