A Cost Comparison of Aviation Personnel: Active versus Reserve.

Abstract

This thesis addresses aviation personnel cost differences between Active and Reserve Aviation Units. Current costing methods and figures developed by the Center for Naval Analysis provide the basis for developing the cost comparisons. This study provides a constrast to past personnel cost comparisons by analyzing the cost differentials between Active and Reserve Units whose annual operating tempos are approximately equal. During the cost comparison, significant cost differentials are identified and factors affecting the realization of any cost savings are discussed. Costing methods that conflict with information developed during the research phase are analyzed and discussed. This cost comparison does not attempt to validate the Center for Naval Analysis' costing approach, but it does provide actual data that will contribute to future validation efforts.
