I encountered this in a game I had as well. Had a sqaudron of about 60 pilots and 24 aircraft, but only about 30 of them rotated through the planes. The rest just sat back cheering and drinking beer. They accumulated zero fatigue over a period of about a month before I stopped keeping track of them.

The game seems to do some unusual things when the pilot/plane ratio becomes badly unbalanced. I've had situations where one squadron has planes sitting in reserve because of a lack of pilots, while a squadron of the same type, at the same base has an excess of piolts who do not fly. You just have to watch and use the disband function if you get a chance (I don't use disband if both squadrons are near full strength, so there's a problem with the high replacement-rate aircraft).

[QUOTE=Dunhere]Sure, there are 62 ready pilot for 24 AC.....Bong must be slower than the other pilots and always loose his place :rolleyes:

But most pilots from the 9 FS are now exhausted.....but do not rotate (as far as i see). Is it normal?

And for the Bong's personal P-38, i know he really wants it, but i do not manage upgrades....so ;)[/QUOTE]

ok, thought so. the overfill of pilots to planes is an annoying and persistant little bug, harder to kill than a cockroach. We are trying to nail it down for WitP, the fixes of which will eventually filter down to UV.

In the meantime, I can only suggest that you unleash your supply seargant for some er....inventive bartering. Who knows, you may end up with that P-38 yet!

Then you will have one happy Mr Bong ;)
