Heartbroken USAF Pilot Purged After Putting Faith Over Biden
This young man is being discharged from the USAF because he refused the Covid vaccine. There is a shortage of pilots in the military as well as in the civilian world and it the cost is phenomenal to train a pilot in the military . The RAND Corporation recently released an interesting report examining the cost of training pilots on various U.S. Air Force platforms. The methodology focused on several criteria such as operating and support costs, fixed and variable costs as well as costs per flying hour across the whole pilot syllabus. The resulting estimates were very high across all of the platforms analyzed. The cost of training a basic qualified fighter pilot adds up to an estimated $5.6 million for an F-16 pilot, $10.17 million for an F-35A pilot and $10.9 million for an F-22 pilot.Every branch of the U.S. military is struggling to meet its 2022 recruiting goal Only 9% of those Americans 17-24 eligible to serve in the military have any inclination to do so. Only 23% of Americans ages 17-24 are qualified to serve without a waiver to join.
In the sixties, it cost-if I remember correctly, a little over $100,000 to train a pilot in the Air Fore bit today the costs are far above that.
