I was at the ATL Air Inc conf. and was surprised how many USAF folks were there as well. Any chance they'll raise the retention bonus to stop the flood gates?
Nope, no C17s as ALOs but I did get to spend 3 years as an AMLO and did get to Iraq and Afghanistan with the Army.
No one becomes an AF pilot because they want to go play on the ground with the Army. I was just trying to say it isn't the end of the world. But now that I've been wearing a flight suit again for a week....
As for retention bonus....my .02 says no way. They're still paying guys to get out early.
