Marine Corps Pilot Retention: Can the Marine Corps Decrease the Number of Pilots Leaving Active Service?
Abstract
Improper total force management coupled with a growing dissatisfaction of increased operational commitments, decreased flight time and aircraft availability, and decreased family time influence large numbers of critical ranked pilots to assess quality of life standards and opt to exit active service. Historical analyses indicate that decreasing total force numbers and expanding commercial aviation directly shape military pilot retention. If the Marine Corps neglects to look at all the growing issues and find was to adjust the current system or incentive qualified pilots it will not be able to decrease the number of pilots leaving active service.
