Title: Incentive pay for remotely piloted aircraft career fields
Description: "Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) are expected to be a major component of the Air Force's future mission capability. Therefore, the Air Force has created two new career fields - 18X for RPA pilots and 1U for sensor operators (SOs) - and has also extended Aviation Incentive Pay and Career Enlisted Incentive Pay to the RPA career fields, equivalent to the traditional flight pays given to personnel who crew manned aircraft. This monograph assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of RPA incentive pays for retaining pilots and SOs, using an econometric model of officer and enlisted retention behavior developed at RAND, the Dynamic Retention Model."--Publisher's description.
