    Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

    Not exactly related to the bonus, but to flight pay...my counterpart here in the office got an email from the local HARM shop that aviators in "Career Enhancing Assignments" (basically, any non-flying job that isn't coded specifically for a rated officer) would have flight pay terminated after 48 months, regardless of how many gate months you had.  The guy referenced AFMAN 11-421 and said it over-rode AFMAN 11-402.

    This seems counter to the entire idea of meeting gate months to get continuous flight pay.

    Anyone else heard about this?

    Seems correct, but it also sounds like a CEA should normally end before 48 months.

    6.2.4.5. Rated officers (except flight surgeons) on active AOs may continue to receive AvIP while assigned to the following assignments:
    6.2.4.5.1. A joint assignment or position on the joint duty assignment list.
    6.2.4.5.2. Attending resident professional military education or a fully funded graduate education program authorized by the Secretary of the Air Force.
    6.2.4.5.3. Non-flying positions that require rated expertise.
    6.2.4.5.4. Career-enhancing assignments outside of aviation service that does not require rated expertise or performance of in-flight duties for a period not to exceed 48- consecutive months. If a member is in a career-enhancing assignment for more than 48-consecutive months in accordance with DoDI 7730.67, HARM offices must assign ASC ‘04’ until the member is assigned to a position that either requires rated expertise or performance of in-flight duties..............The servicing HARM office will utilize ARMS and ad hoc reports to track a member assigned FSC “V” to ensure continuous AvIP is stopped when the member exceeds 48-consecutive months in the FSC “V” status.

    So my UPT ADSC expires in aug 2023, I couldn’t sign the bonus last year because I wasn’t eligible yet; and now this wording seems like I won’t be eligible because I will have <1 year. WTF…

    I'm in the same boat. Maybe the $35k cap would apply to guys like us under 37 U.S. Code § 334, and there will be a separate pool of eligibles for the "demonstration program" that goes up to $50k? Who knows.

    Draft says: "    (b) Rated Officers Described.--Rated officers... (2) who have not more than three years and not less than one year remaining on an active duty service obligation under section 653 of title 10, United States Code."

    But 37 U.S. Code § 334 says eligibility is based on if the officer: "has completed any active duty service commitment incurred for undergraduate aviator training or is within one year of completing such commitment;"
     
    I wonder if eligibility is expanding in order to lock people in earlier? And with the 1-year verbiage differing between the two, I wonder what this all means for FY23 eligibles that would be at <1 year left on the ADSC if this takes effect for the AvB program early next year.
