The Air Force once had an IST program for Army pilots.  In the 90's they would even take Warrant Officers and send them to Maxwell for OCS, then to a shortened fixed wing qualification course for former helicopter pilots.  They closed the program to Warrant Officer in the early 2000's, but still took commissioned guys for awhile.  The Guard/Reserve was always an easier route than active duty if you didn't mind the politics. 


I believe the Air Force IST program is currently suspended for all services.
