UPT SLOTS
Pilot training slots in the Air Force are getting harder to come by. As a civilian, our options are many, and those who want to fly will get there by any means necessary.
A civilian can apply for a pilot slot with the Active Duty Air Force and go through OTS, apply to the Air Force Reserves, or apply to the Air National Guard. This document will focus on the Air National Guard side of the house, but may also be applied in part to the Reserves as their process is similar.
