The U.S. Air Force is looking to outsource solutions to boost its yearly pilot output and improve its training curriculum.
During a two-day industry event last week hosted by Air Education and Training Command's 19th Air Force, the service outlined its priorities under five request for information, or RFI, solicitations. If all five are enacted, they could collectively produce 200 additional pilots over a five-year period.
"The idea is to reach out to industry and see how you all might be able to support, provide ideas, and provide information that will help us as we formulate our plans moving forward," Maj. Gen. Craig Wills, 19th Air Force commander, said in a news release.
