Pilot Retention: An Historical Analysis.

Abstract

This report focuses on the historical aspects of pilot retention that have plagued the military services since the 1960s. A brief recount of the cyclical rise and fall of pilot retention is followed by an analysis of the major contributing causes within those cycles. Attention is focused primarily on the United States Air Force; however, the United States Navy experiences similar retention problems and corollary reference is also made to that fact.
