I am seeking appointment to USAFA with the goal of becoming a pilot. Recently I read an article about the growing use of UAV's and was wondering what percentage of UPT grads are assigned UAV as opposed to manned flight.
 
Thank you for the stats. Very helpful! Does anyone know how these numbers are projected to change? Obviously nobody knows for sure, but is there a consensus as to what will probably happen?
 
This is from a previous post for the class of 2014. If these 2 points make a trend then pilot slots stays about the same with an increase in the number of RPA pilots.

A total of 404 cadets received rated AFSCs:
369 were selected to become pilots,
18 to become RPA pilots,
11 to become combat systems officers
six to become air battle managers.
