Just looked in the Navy Times and saw the long term Pilot Bonuses for 2005

Air Force Fixed Wing: $25k per year
Air Force Rotary Wing: $25k per year
Navy Fixed Wing: $25k per year
Navy Rotary Wing: $25k per year
Marine Fixed Wing: $25k per year
Marine Rotary Wing: $ 7k per year

Anybody else see something wrong with this.....
 
Well guess Im not signing up for that. thaty is F#cking insulting. We are doing one year on one year off deployments and getting shot at pretty regularly while the Hornets (I have nothing against them and know the value of F/W) are on basically a normal deployment cycle. I will probably stay in but not on that bonus I want the option to tell them to F$ck off if they piss me off.
Rant over Im ok now
 
Marines do have the option of taking the short term (1 to 3 year) bonus.

Marine Fixed Wing: $18k per year
Marine Rotary Wing $ 3k per year
 
You sign up (on the long term contract) for 5 years. You have to be complete with your initial obligation. I think that is 8 years after wings for fixed wing and 6 years for rotary - but I am not sure what the intial commitments are nowadays.
 
It also says you have to be a Maj or Maj select. By that time wouldn't you be near the end of your obligation anyway?
 
Yes, when your initial commitment is up you are or are very close to being a Major.
 
How is this bonus paid out? is it given as a lump sum at the start of the year, or do they distribute into your regular paycheck. Also does this affect the monthly aviation incentive?
 
Since the AF has lots of pilots staying in there were rumors that they were going to get rid of it.Lots of pilots are going to be happy now.

Things may have changed a bit but when I took my five year $25K signing bonus, I took half up front with the other half being distributed over five years.

I agree, the Marine helo pilot bonus is ridiculous.
 
Are those the bonuses that you get if decide to extend your service (and are approved to) by X amount of years and you start getting that bonus after year 5?

I thought it was 25/year? Does that mean you got like 60k up front?
