The Army is probably having a similar problem. My wife volunteers at a BLM site and a couple of weeks ago she had two AD Blackhawk pilots putting in volunteer time with her. They were here at Huachuca transitioning to flying drones. For pilot, this is an insult I would think.

Pat,
BLM,, some acronyms need definition within context..
My major gripe is the US tax payer has been paying to train commercial airline pilots for 80 years. They fly for the AF for one enlistment, them jump to the airlines.
If they are so valuable (they probably are), then they should commit to minimum of 10 or 15 yrs.. The US needs an ROI (return on investment) that has has parity.
Brain Fart: Why doesn't the airline industry pay a 2M USD finders fee each time they hire an AF truck driver.. Just like a lot of HR head-hunter businesses charge as a fee??
