Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force book is an institutional history of flight training by the predecessor organizations of the United States Air Force. The U.S. Army purchased its first airplane, built and successfully flown by Orville and Wilbur Wright, in 1909, and placed both lighter- and heavier-than-air aeronautics in the Division of Military Aeronautics of the Signal Corps. As pilots and observers in the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Forces, Americans flew combat missions in France during the Great War. In the first postwar decade, airmen achieved a measure of recognition with the establishment of the Air Corps and, during World War II, the Army Air Forces attained equal status with the Army Ground Forces. During this first era of military aviation, as described by Rebecca Cameron in Training to Fly, the groundwork was laid for the independent United States Air Force. Those were

Book excerpt: This book examines an area of Franklin D. Roosevelt's aviation policy, the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP). Extending from 1939 to 1946, the CPTP was the first government attempt to use American colleges and universities as settings for training large numbers of pilots. More important, the CPTP was a multipurpose program conceived by Robert H. Hinckley, head of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, to serve as a New Deal economic panacea for private flying (then a neglected segment of the aviation industry) and as a bulwark in the national defense by providing trained pilots. On another level, it was a means of preparing American youth for the emerging air age. Dominick Pisano traces the sometimes colorful, always interesting story of the program from its initial stage of satisfying expectations based largely on civilian goals, through criticism that it was not contributing to military objectives before World War II, to censure by the Army Air Force during the war for not meeting agreed-on training quotas. Ironically, the CPTP trained thousands of military pilots during the war, then languished and died for lack of funding, a victim of ill-defined expectations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to widely reported sources, the United States Air Force predicts a vast shortage of trained and experienced pilots, specifically fighter pilots. To combat this, the Air Force offers pilots a retention bonus of varying durations at the end of their initial service commitment from pilot training. As the airline industry has expanded its hiring needs, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve squadrons grow in ratio to active duty, and society has changed, the number of rated officers who choose to remain on active duty has decreased. Surprisingly, the Air Force’s approach has not. To increase retention, the Air Force must adjust its approach to appeal to what pilots care about, which is not universal. To do so, it should a three-pronged approach that appeals to an officer’s stability and predictability of assignments, an officer’s bank account, or both."--Page 1.
Download or read book The Aviation Career Improvement Act and Its Impact on Retention written by Michael J. Mestemaker and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 29, 1989, the Aviation Career Improvement Act (ACIA) became binding on the military services as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The ACIA was intended by both the Congress and the military services as a measure to improve pilot retention and was primarily directed at military compensation by increasing flight pay and continuing the pilot bonus. However, it also affected career management issues that included changing the flying gates and the active duty service commitment for flight training. This paper initially reviews the retention situation in the Air Force and the specific provisions of the ACIA. Next, the impact these provisions will have on the Air Force is examined to include several provisions that could have a very positive affect on retention. The pilot bonus and the new flying gates are examined in detail because of the difficulties that can be expected when they are implemented. The overall success of the ACIA is examined one year after implementation by looking at the latest retention rates as compared to previous years. This leads to the conclusion that ACIA has had little or no positive impact on pilot retention since the new rates are lower than the previous year. The author next makes several recommendation that need to be considered if pilot retention is to improve.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last three years the major airlines have relaxed their rigid standards for employment to include age, vision, height, weight, education, and flying experience. As a result, literally every Air Force pilot currently qualifies for employment, and the major airlines are aggressively recruiting the Air Force's most experienced pilots. The study determines an increasing number of retirement eligible pilots are leaving the Air Force, some even turning down promotion to colonel, to pursue a career in the civilian airline industry. The study concludes that this trend will have a negative impact on the number of quality pilots who remain on active duty beyond the 20-year point to fill critical command and staff duties. Retention of the Air Force's most experienced pilot corps is a critical personnel issue.
