I'll give you a little background about myself. I'm 19, have 1000 hours in mostly single engine pistons, and my CFI, CFII, and MEI. i'm a sophmore in aeronautical engineering at the university here, and i've got some major questions on my mind. My father was an airforce pilot in the vietnam conflict and had nothing but good things to say about the flying aspect. my flying career is winding down until after i graduate so i'll probably leave school with around 1200 hours or so. I've got a few questions so bear with me and any and all solid information is more than welcome. First off what is the actual rate of pilots accepted into training not only from ROTC but from the academy and any other routes also? Plus, what other routes other than the academy and ROTC are there? OK, so once i get into API what is the rate of graduation? and one thing i'd really love to get the stats on is what percentage of pilots go to what airplanes after graduation. i love the prospect of the military, but i'm incredibly nervous about signing the papers BEFORE i have the assurance from them that i'll be flying if i've got a promising future in the civilian side. One other thing, how many hours will it take (on average) a zero time student graduate all phases of flight training with? Also, is there anywhere to take a full flight physical or anything comprable on the civilian side before i sign the papers and find out i have some disqualifying factor? sorry for skipping around, its 3AM here, but any and all info is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
