Easy Street,
Thank You for the explanation. In the USAF we called them FAIP’s (First Assignment Instructor Pilots) They usually finished well above average at Pilot training, and were all fighter qualified from Pilot train8ng, as opposed to Tanker, Transport qualified. Unfortunately for them, there were no guarantee of a follow on fighter assignment, as the needs of the Air Force was the deciding factor for follow on assignments. The US Navy also has First assignment Instructors but they award a follow on assignment to them before they begin their instructor tour. A much better arrangement.
