You are correct, Sir. Lifestyle is a very big factor in the travails of the USAF pilot retention. They're working these people like rented mules.

In the Terms & Endearment section, there's a long series of articles about this issue and lifestyle figures prominently in it.

Under the umbrella of "airline" flying comes better money...and lifestyle.
