"Up to"
So max of $50k per year for 12 years. 12 years would put you pretty high in the seniority list. |

This bonus is an attempt to retain pilots who have finished their 9 year UPT commitments. Thus is targeted at experienced senior captains or Majors...instructors, evaluators, weapons school grads etc. This bonus will carry you thru to a 20 year retirement. Yeah, you could be senior at a major airline or furloughed from said airline as well. The current hiring boom won't last forever but a military retirement will. |

Withdrawal their family members had to pay to have the loved ones bodies flown back to the USA. Tens of thousands of $ for each body but your creepy uncle puppet joe on his last brain cell had no problem leaving a trillion dollars worth of military hardware behind not to forget American citizens behind as well. So you don't think for a second there's a million strings holding service members to account for the fake bonus? |

compared to what you'll make at the airlines in that time frame. I doubt most pilots would consider it for more than 10 seconds. oh yeah, but it's just in time for Christmas!! lol |

Reinstate the draft. All individuals 18 through 20 get drafted. After two years sort out the ones that are worth anything and let the other 99% go. That way you filtered out the 1% that's worth anything in the military and maybe they will be worth something 10 years down the road instead of being a TAX LEACH. The military in most cases is just glorified welfare for the 99% losers that are there. |

...Desk Jockeys their "senior" pilots which is why they have a retention problem like all the rest. Pilots who want to be pilots will ALWAYS leave the military. |

safe occupation. Lost 2500 people in Vietnam. Army lost 38,000 plus, USMC 14,000+, etc.
Same old thing, Army carries the load, other services take the positive accolades, Army gets the spoils. Oh well, just a matter of understanding. |
