Would anyone wish to hazard a guess as to when, if ever, the aircrew branch would no longer represent the greater number of entrants at JO level. Could the reduction in the requirement for WSO/navigators and the possible introduction of unmanned systems in the future result in another branch having the lions share of the base of the manning pyramid and therefore get more senior officers at the top of the pyramid, thus outranking and outnumbering the aircrew branch and getting seats on the AFB. Or would the system ensure that aircrew would still reach the top of the pyramid?
