The availability of Naval Aviators (pilots) and Naval Flight Officers (NFOs) on active duty in the Marine Corps has significantly declined over the past several years. This analysis seeks to identify the factors that have contributed to this high attrition. Based on an analysis of responses to a survey, the author concludes that: Marine Corps personnel management practices do not satisfy the basic needs of pilots and NFOs for a secure and rewarding career in which attention is paid to their individual problems and desires; Any personnel policy or procedure that restricts the flying opportunities available to a pilot or NFO, precludes job satisfaction, and contributes to attrition; Assignment policies should be revised to increase the proportion of career time (especially in early years) that pilots and NFOs spend in flying billets; An economic incentive (e.g., bonus or increased ACIP) would reduce attrition; and Airline hiring contributes to (but does not necessarily cause) attrition. Actions are recommended to reduce the attrition of Marine Corps pilots and NFOs.
