That is because they all think they will be flying fighters, most of them are flying UAV's instead of fighters. Al least the boys driving the heavies have a skill they can use after the military.

Fighter aircraft technology is being held back as the human body can only take so much G force, aircraft now can exceed our G force limit. I have read the F-35 will be the last manned fighter.
