So that’s 250 less Pilots required, or there are not enough Pilots to fly them as is? I doubt the Trannies can qualify, let alone want to even attempt to be a Pilot.

The ratio of pilots to aircraft is normally about 2.5 pilots for every aircraft. This depends on the type of aircraft and calculations for Guard or Reserve.

No, they don't have enough pilots and aren't likely to get enough either.

The number of pilots required are scaled to the number of units (squadrons, etc) being maintained. As far as I know there is no net reduction in these, for the most part, they are changing over to different aircraft, mainly F35’s.

I think there IS a reduction in the A10 units.

Anyway, this article is more to the point I think -
