It was to offer two paths; one being the traditional move up, hold command positions, staff, blah both blah traditional route and the other was geared to letting the flyers be flyers over the course of their career. It seemed like a real way to address the issue seen in your industry is moving up means moving away from hit flight line.
And that's the high end. Some AFSCs were offered as low as 10K/yr. The offer was/is a total joke. Any worthwhile idea guys have sent up of course is shot down. The stars in DC want to divest the force badly; not just because we need to since all of our jets are falling apart, but also it will artificially solve the pilot shortage. Don't need that many pilots when you barely have any airworthy jets.
