Air Force officials here have approved an incentive pay for officer and enlisted Airmen who commit themselves to flying or operating sensors on remotely piloted aircraft.
The incentive pay is equivalent to the current aviation incentive pay programs and is available to Airmen in the officer 18X RPA pilot or the new enlisted 1UOX1 RPA sensor operator career fields.
The incentives scale with an Airman's time within the career fields.
"Air Force leaders want the RPA career fields to operate the way other aviation career fields do," said Lt. Col. David DuHadway. "As a service, we recognize the need for people with these skill sets, and this represents a significant step forward in building a career field of RPA professionals."
