Flight School backed up

[CarterL]

I know time to class up varies and also is dependent on your commissioning date. However, i'm looking to apply for either SNA or NFO. I want to fly helicopters if I went SNA. If you were to estimate - would COPTR take same time to wing as NFO? I'm not too sure i'm sold on the 8+ year commitment of aviation. Was excited to see they offer COPTR for those interested in rotary.

Currently in Pensacola getting ready to class up for NIFE after only 5 weeks of waiting. I bet the longer wait times occur during the summer months when the ROTC and Academy guys and gals commission. For COPT-R they are asking for volunteers before starting academics so they can send you straight there once you finish NIFE.

Wonder if they’d let an SNFO volunteer if the space was there

No NFOs on helos, so it’s unlikely you’d get COPT-R pipeline.

I suspect he’s asking “can I switch to pilot helos if there are no volunteers?”
