What happens when short term pilot demands exceed production capacity? Outsourcing pilot training to industry or another Government doesn’t mean you must make sacrifices: finding a training provider with top technology that adapts the syllabus to the needs of the specific country is tough to find. RSW Aviation explains why it is important not to integrate in an existing training system, rather, leverage the knowledge and lessons learned to create a custom training solution Recruiting top instructor talent affects the resulting product: how to find and attract the top military instructor pilots in an environment of pilot shortages and top paying commercial aviation jobs General (Ret’d) William R.

How can we ensure that pilots are trained to operate and fight in an increasingly congested and information-dominated battlespace? How can we develop exceptional leaders and equip pilots with skills to act decisively in high-intensity conflict? Is greater emphasis on higher fidelity GBTS a feasible way to prepare Airmen for multi-domain warfare?
