<p>I don’t who you’ve talked to about UPT. I know many active duty/retired Air Force pilots and most of them have said this same exact thing. </p>
<p>UPT will push you to your limits more than anything you have ever done. You will put in hours of studying and effort to even make it through the program. It’s like drinking from a fire hydrant with the amount of information you learn in that fifty-two week program. But all of them have said that flying is something you are born with. You must have the hands and attitude to get that slot that you want. You can put in your best effort, but at the end of the day if you are 3rd on the list of drops and the first two guys want the -38 track, you are going T-1’s or T44’s, etc.</p>
