Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Feb. 19, 1997
Report No. NSIAD-97-60
Subject
Summary:

To retain skilled aviators, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Marine Corps in recent years paid more than $200 million in incentives and bonuses to pilots and navigators holding jobs that do not require them to fly. Filling these positions with nonaviators could save millions of dollars in pay and training costs for aviators now assigned to nonflying jobs. This report discuses (1) the number of aviators who are assigned to nonflying positions in the armed forces, (2) the amount of aviation career incentive pay and aviation continuation pay paid to aviators in nonflying positions, (3) whether the services implement such pay uniformly, and (4) whether the nonflying positions affect the number of aviators that the services plan to train to meet future requirements.
