This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to quantitatively examine the effect of several institutional and non-institutional factors that have traditionally impacted Naval aviator retention. It uses a unique database that includes summarized continuation rate information for pilots from each subcommunity by year group and commissioning source. The effects of varying unemployment rates, air transportation industry hiring rates, aviation continuation pay (ACP) opportunities and changing minimum service requirement (MSR) policies are measured statistically to determine their relative significance in impacting aviator continuation rates. The study analyzed the continuation rate behavior between 1990 and 1996 for aviators in year groups 1984 through 1989. Results from the statistical analysis indicate that institutional factors such as changing MSR policies and ACP availability have a greater impact than non- institutional factors such as unemployment rates and air transportation industry hiring rates. Specifically, recent changes in MSR policies have been successful in increasing continuation rates while ACP has not been successful in increasing retention.

This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to examine and supplement the information the Navy uses to design policies geared to retain fixed wing aviators past their initial commitment. Currently, the ARGUS Career Milestone and Tracking System web-based survey is an important tool used by the Navy to study retention. However, this database does not disaggregate fixed wing aviators based on the platforms flown. Some factors that affect retention may be unique to the individual sub-communities. The goal of this paper is to first examine whether factors for retention differ within the aviation community as a whole. The second objective is to determine whether there are retention factors not taken into account by the ARGUS database. The more detailed information generated in this study can help the Navy design more effective polices for retaining junior officer fixed wing naval aviators.

This book was released on 1999-05-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis seeks to discover the factors that are affecting the career decisions of female aviators and naval flight officers (NFOs) in sea-going aviation communities. Fourteen general themes were revealed, including the influence family members had on the decision to join the military, the committment to serve their country, the lack of female role models in aviation, the gender discriminationthe officers faced throught their careers, and their plans to leave the Navy after their initial obligation.
Download or read book Analysis of Mid Grade Naval Aviator Retention written by Scott H. Poindexter and published by . This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attrition of aviators is of major concern to the Navy because of the costs and numbers involved. The Navy currently forecasts aviator retention and attrition by extrapolating historical trends. This thesis recommends that the Navy replace the current method with two alternative statistical techniques: logistic regression and classification trees. They are recommended for two reasons. First, the proposed techniques make significantly more accurate forecasts of aviator retention than the current method. Second, the proposed techniques, unlike the current method, can identify the significant variables affecting aviator retention. Use of the proposed techniques can therefore lead to the formulation of better aviator retention policies by the Navy. These arguments are demonstrated with a case study of an existing retention database. The variable identified as most significant for aviator retention in this analysis were the geographic location of an aviator' duty station, assignment to non-flying billets, and grade. Policy implications of these findings are discussed.

Download or read book Minding the Helm written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large ships transporting hazardous cargoes, notorious marine accidents, and damage to marine ecosystems from tanker spills have heightened public concern for the safe navigation of ships. This new volume offers a complete, highly readable assessment of marine navigation and piloting. It addresses the application of new technology to reduce the probability of accidents, controversies over the effectiveness of waterways management and marine pilotage, and navigational decisionmaking. The book also explores the way pilots of ships and tugs are trained, licensed, and held accountable. Minding the Helm approaches navigational safety from the perspectives of risk assessment and the integration of human, technological, and organizational systems. Air and marine traffic regulation methods are compared, including the use of vessel traffic services. With a store of current information and examples, this document will be indispensable to federal and state pilotage and licensing authorities and marine traffic regulators, the Coast Guard, pilot associations, and the shipping and towing industries. It will also interest individuals involved in waterway design, marine education, and the marine environment.
