USAF "UPT NEXT" is online. The AF approach to pilot training now presumes the entry candidate has FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate in Airplane Single Engine Land and Instrument Airplane....Then 30 Hours in the T-6 to wings....Fighter selects go to T-38 and all others go to the Formal Training Unit (aka FRS) of their Major Weapon System (aka fleet aircraft).

Dramatic change to say the least...

Talking to some current USAF aircrew and the pilots that have gone from T-6 to the FTU then the 'fleet' have been mixed at best, they remain very wary.

We just had a Reserve weekend and that's what I heard as well. Interesting times. There's not a lot of opportunity to "go back". T-1 is being rapidly decommissioned, as an example.
