U.S. Air Force Faces Fighter Pilot Shortage Amid Training Challenges

The U.S. Air Force is grappling with a significant fighter pilot shortage, falling short by approximately 1,142 pilots as of 2024. This deficit, coupled with reduced training hours, raises concerns about the readiness of the force compared to rapidly advancing adversaries like China.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

From what I read, of all the military branches, it seems the AF is most intent on being woke.  Maybe that is making people shy away. :shrug:
