The Air Force is offering Aviator Continuation Pay to select pilots and air battle managers—no combat systems officers—for Fiscal 2007. The aim is to garner commitments from “specific rated officer demographic groups” to help the service “stabilize the inventory,” states an Air Force Personnel Center news release. Eligible pilots are being offered $25,000 for five years and ABMs get $15,000.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
