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??

A number of the pilots who leave active duty continue in the Air Guard and AF Reserve.
The USAF is structured so that the Air Guard and AF Reserve are critical to most missions.
