Simple. Vote with your feet.
The civvy market is pretty much crying out for experience.
As usual, the Corps is planning for the present.
Flying pay is a retention incentive and to move the goal posts must mean that there is no need to retain pilots. Thats all well and good today but in two, four or six years? Are they going to re adjust it again?
I also hear there are moves afoot to increase the time bar on completion of the pilots course to six years and also do away with first tour flying pay.
Money isn't the driving force to go flying but it would be nice to know that we are at least on the same terms with the RAF and RN. Especially as we do the same flying course!
Nice way to go on trying to attract people to stay around Army Avn. Last one out, turn the lights off.
Overmanned?? Where?? Not on this planet.
