jmalter -> RE: Pilot Training (Again) (2/28/2015 9:30:16 PM)

There're several different types of withdrawal - the ones where the blue text includes the phrase 'out of theater' will permanently take all planes & pilots with them. I always remove all pilots from these groups, the watchword is 'let Eisenhower train his own pilots.'
Similarly, LCUs labeled to withdraw 'out of theater' will take all their devices with them, instead of returning them to the pools. Don't let these 'OoT' units get any replacements or upgrades!
Some withdrawing airgroups have the 'withdraw' button greyed out, they can only be disbanded. Again, remove all pilots from these groups before disbanding them.
Some groups are listed to return at a future date, it's up to you whether or not you remove their pilots before withdrawal. It may be convenient to leave the pilots in the groups, but I don't think they'll continue to train after they've been withdrawn.
In nearly all cases, it's a bad idea to 'fill out' or upgrade airframes for groups scheduled to withdraw. Newb pilots train up just fine if there's only 1 plane in their group, you don't need to add planes until they reach the 50 Exp / 70 Skill level. The exceptions are the groups at forward bases that will inevitably fall to the enemy, such as Singapore or Manila, where it might make sense to expend high-quality planes & pilots to help these bases hold out as long as possible.
