Outrageous...
With the current state of warfare:
1)they fly a truck to the AO
2)someone ID's the target
3)someone OK's the target
4)someone loads the weapon system
5)someone in Nevada watches the show on the satellite
6)someone pulls the "trigger"
7)someone in the 5-sided outhouse signs the awards

Retention bonus pay for Air Force pilots could swell above $400,000, Jeff Daniels
Fighter pilot retention bonuses could soar to record heights of $400,000 or more, if the U.S. Air Force has its way.
"Currently, we have a need to retain fighter pilots that we have," said Ann Stefanek, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Air Force. "Whenever the economy is better, there are job opportunities that pilots can take advantage of."
According to the Air Force, the pilot shortage is expected to worsen and result in a shortfall of more than 700 pilots by the end of September. Without any action, the Air Force estimates it will be more than 1,000 fighter pilots short by 2022.
