1) An unprecedented 1MIL "retention package" in bonuses and longevity/bonus pay (the NFL calls them 'contract incentives') to new FGO's in the fighter community.
2) Adopt the Navy's model of "flying tour/admin tour" to reduce the block time away from base and family. Not both at the same time.
3) Establish a re-blue process for pilots who separated within the previous 2 years (assuming they can still pass the dreaded USAF PFT), AND establish a syllabus route by which Reserve and Guardsmen who fly airlift/tanker/white jet MWS's can transfer to a fighter unit, active duty OR guard, IF that is the only commutable unit near them, or if that unit/wing/command has a specific need for pilots.
