This study focuses on the lack of a consistent methodology for determining how many field experienced pilots are assigned to Air Training Command (ATC) as undergraduate pilot training instructor pilots and the need for a standard USAF policy on those assignments. ATC has no direct control over access to field experienced pilots. The other MAJCOMs allocate pilots to ATC based on their ability to do so, as defined by MAJCOM leadership. Management of operational problems caused by the decreased availability of experienced pilots has been delegated to the MAJCOMs. Air Force guidance is to maximize readiness. This policy has allowed each flying MAJCOM to control rated personnel policies based on command mission requirements and priorities, but has provided no consistency to the supply of experienced pilots to ATC. A recommendation is made for the establishment of a minimum experience level in ATC's pilot training wings. (sdw)
