These are all enlisted people. No enlisted people will ever fly F-15s, only officers. Now, there was, and maybe to a certain point, still is, a pilot shortage, so they let a few enlisted people go to pilot training. My son went to pilot training with a few Tech’s, Master’s and Senior’s. I think the enlisted pilots, were only going to “fly” the MQ-4 Global Hawk. I think they could actually fly the aircraft, if need be, but I think the aircraft is programmed to fly a certain route, and all the enlisted pilots do, is monitor it. My son says, as far as he knows, the enlisted pilots are being phased out, and are being replaced with officers.

Never mind who’s going to fly the F-15’s!

Who’s going to maintain, fuel & arm them? Or select and designate targets?

Those are the ones more apt to get cuts, I don’t see pilots on the list.
