I was all for joining up and being a career pilot back in the days when their attrition rate was a lot lower. I was told pretty much the same thing back then.
The flying part of being in the Airforce was a pretty small part of the job, and to remain in as a career involved not enough flying to remain current.
I also looked at it a few years ago when they were begging for pilots....... was told nothing had changed.
Its a shame really, as I would have been quite comfortable driving a hurky around for a career....... even later in life.
