Air
Force solves pilot crisis by increasing service commitment to 20 years
Genius.
Oct 25, 2024
WASHINGTON—As
the U.S. Air Force continues to do more with less, the organization has
implemented a new service commitment of 20 years for pilots, effective
immediately. The dismal retention rate of pilots leaving the service for
commercial airlines after hitting their 10-year active duty service commitment
(ADSC) has caused the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) to develop creative
solutions, resulting in the new policy.
“Ultimately, the cost to train
our pilots is ever increasing, and we are trying to capitalize on that large
initial investment by keeping them for the entirety of their careers,” said Air
Force Chief of Staff General David Allvin. “Those already signed to a 10-year
ADSC have the option of taking the 20-year deal or a less than honorable
discharge, a fair trade in today’s current global dynamics.”
