If you say so. I wonder if we don't agree on a few more things than we don't.
Can you expand on your " You still attrite those who can't fly well enough".
The term attrite refers to disenrolling people from flight training who can't meet standards. Well, it used to anyway.
"Skipper, last quarter we had three attrites and six DORs. {Drop on Request; flight students haning up the cleats voluntarily} Their packages were reviewed by the Wing and CNATRA, except for one DOR. She's undergoing a psych eval with Medical; the other eight are pending orders from the Bureau."
(That is roughly how I briefed our CO one fine Monday afternoon, obviously not verbatim as it's been over 30 years ... ).
Maybe they use a new term now.
As to launching attacks: my best CO's were the ones who went after anyone who tried to go after the people in their squadron.
I retired from active duty 15 years ago.
