Army pilots get first incentive pay raise in 20 years

Yes because the Economy is booming no doubt and the civilian employer incentives are also rising.

About time. You want to keep top notch people then you need to treat them better than the next guy. Duty, honor, selfless sacrifice, and personal grit only goes so far and doesn’t pay the bills or support the family like the airline down the road will. In the end everyone is human and selfless sacrifice will only go so far.
