As to way our training system works, there is a basic selection that occurs, where all pilot candidates have to go through a filter to ensure they can learn at the speed required by the air force so they can go on to the other phases of pilot training. Everybody goes through that phase. Then there's a streamed process where they go to propeller airplanes—turboprops—and are trained in the most advanced flying and started on the road to competency. Then they are streamed off to either multi-engine aircraft, helicopters, or fighters. So there's a streaming effect that occurs shortly after that primary flight selection, and then they specialize in flying helicopters.
