"Here’s how the Air Force’s new pilot retention bonuses will work"

From https://www.airforcetimes.com   |   article by Rachel S. Cohen  |  Aug 18 2023.

"The Air Force is now accepting applications for a new bonus program that offers certain pilots up to $50,000 a year to renew their contracts."

"Known as the 'Rated Officer Retention Demonstration Program,' the congressionally mandated initiative is the latest to entice aviators to remain in uniform amid the Air Force’s perennial pilot shortage."

"The demo program targets active duty pilots who are serving out the initial 10-year contract that began when they finished flight school."

PILOTS IN PARTICULAR HIGHLY VALUED THEIR CONTINUED SERVICE NOT TO BE TAKEN FROM GRANTED!
