Air Force Pilot Retention: A Holistic Solution to Talent Management

Abstract

While research on pilot retention varies, most studies only focus on one aspect of this complex problem. A pilot retention crisis is here and if the problem is not fixed, it will severely degrade the worlds greatest Air and Space Force. While there is rarely a perfect answer, this paper is an attempt to shine a light on the multiple grievances while offering plausible solutions that would benefit the Air Forces ability to retain manning in the future. Without addressing multiple grievances and taking a holistic approach, the problem will remain unsolved and continue to threaten the readiness of the USAF.
