#3 Several companies have managed to make a working business model out of exploiting USAF training and tactics gaps.
(1) What does that say about current USAF training?
(2) What are the potential opponents seeing? (Seems that they could tap the contractors for knowledge.)

#5 Flying Tigers were "contractors", aka soldiers of fortune. Somehow I wonder if the contractors going up against the USAF have the same goals

#6 This is another way of saying -

We can't keep the best pilots. They want to fly and not put up with micro management, flying desks so others have 'equity' to use the same aircraft, and no political indoctrination. So, we're going to pay 3 or more times the cost of such pilots who will be civilians contractors instead.
