Military pilots pass on bonuses to join airlines
U S military top pilots trained at great taxpayer cost are leaving for high paid airline jobs, despite $110000 bonuses. Pentagon reports 775 Air Force pilots left in first five months of FY1998, with many taking early retirement and others citing long deployments, limited combat flying, and promotion hurdles as reasons.
