UAV Trainees Outnumber Combat Pilot Trainees

According to the Air Force Times, the Air Force will train more UAV pilots than fighter/bomber pilots this year.  While the current number of fighter and bomber pilots still dwarfs the number of UAV pilots, the Air Force will train 240 UAV pilots, though only 214 fighter and bomber pilots, this year.

The article does not distinguish between Predator and Global Hawk UAVs, which might be a similar distinction between fighter/bomber and airlift/tanker pilots.
