Just to pick a nit ... would it be more accurate to say that you had a
slot in flight school, rather than a 'pilot slot', upon graduation?

There is a non-zero washout rate from just about any specialty
training.


Pick a nit if you like. To be totally accurate:

I had a Student Naval Aviator quota--(i.e. not SNFO, AI or AMDO) *IF* I was
physically qualified for it. What I was able to do in flight school is
entirely another row of corn, but I personally never considered failure (or
washing out) as an option.
