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.
