Here are some ideas that might help:
- reduce additional duties, let pilots fly
- increase flying hour programs, let pilots fly
- reduce PCS's, let families grow roots
- increase flight pay substantially, combine the bonus into flight pay so it comes as a monthly incentive.
- remove toxic leaders, I don't know how to do this , but it needs to happen
- reduce additional duties, let pilots fly
- increase flying hour programs, let pilots fly
- reduce PCS's, let families grow roots
- increase flight pay substantially, combine the bonus into flight pay so it comes as a monthly incentive.

This problem is self correcting.
One of the reasons current military pilots are flying is because they're not fully funded. When you look at the hourly cost to fly JSF it's estimated to be triple (at least) the cost. That's just operations, not acquisition.
JSF pilots probably will spend all their time in the sim, and rarely touch the actual jet. If you're not flying the aircraft you're not building flight time = retention forever.
Problem solved.

The AF (all military really) pilot retention problem will fix itself (different take than awax).
Drones will replace most of the manned cockpits sooner than later. With the F-35 we might have the last manned fighter. Bombers next. Transports last. It will certainly happen sooner in military airplanes than civil/airline airliners.
