WASHINGTON - Air Force officials here released the details for aviator continuation pay for this fiscal year.

For active duty Airmen, the program gives various rated aviators -- namely some pilots, combat systems officers and air battle managers -- the opportunity to sign an active duty service commitment contract agreement in exchange for a financial bonus.

The details vary among the branches of the total force.

"With increasing requirements for rated officers, the Air Force is trying to avoid shortfalls in manning," said Lt. Col. David DuHadway, the chief of rated force policy. "With the economy the way it is and the Air Force needs for rated officers, this is a win-win situation for everyone involved."

The aviator continuation pay program traditionally targeted officers, most recently pilots and air battle managers, who have completed their initial flying service commitment during the fiscal year.
