Community Issues
16
FA-18 Cat I Manning

• FY08/09 NATRACOM production challenges led to
  aviator delivery delays for VFA, VAW and VRC
  communities
• VFA community response
• Directed short-term extension of select JOs to
  support deployments
• Transitioned 14 pilots from VAQ, VQ, VAW and VS
  communities
• Will arrive in FA-18 squadrons late FY10 through
  FY12
• Utilized super JOs to fill Cat I seats in 9
  squadrons, to date
• Increased VFA manning levels at Strike VT
  squadrons to bring production to required levels
• Late FY09 Strike VT production exceeded
  expectation
• FA-18 FRS production is expected to meet FY10
  Fleet demand (with extension and SJO strategies
  in place)

Efforts to Mitigate the VFA Cat I Shortfall are
Working
