Briefed lawmakers on a Pilot Shortage affecting all four of the services. This House Armed Services subcommittee hearing runs about an hour 1 2. And a half. Comes to order. I want to welcome everyone to the hear on the shortage of pilots in military services. Today well hear from the services on their progress towards increasing the retention of military pilots both officers and warrant officers. We know pilot demands are increasing in the commercial sector and the demand to hire qualified military pilot is this higher than the available pool of candidates. With the problem being particularly acute in the United States air force. With the deficit at one point of over 1,000 total pilots. We are here to hear from the Armed Services on their plan. We know we cannot buy our way out of the problem since the military does not compete with the potential salary and some cases of the lifestyle of commercial airlines. So we must make sure the services are using all the levers in their control. F

It does, but were compensating with the extension of the legacy aircraft which was proven. Past years, sir. This i think Lieutenant General gross, one question that i have, the 35,000 bonus, it amazes me that anyone would question, after five years in service the officer or 11year person that is critical. When they go to the airline, five years later theyre probably at the airline making double what a u. S. Army major what a u. S. Air force major or a wo3 would be making at that point, would that be correct . The data we have right now is very quickly you will get to 160,000 a year so probably.
