Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

[di1630]

I did 20+ yrs AD, loved it so much I joined the reserves but also got in with an airline. Knowing what I do now of reserves and airlines, I’d never tell a kid it’s smart to take the bonus. Individual circumstances may vary but overall, run from AD.

Interesting changes are coming for the AvB, some of which will be worthwhile and others not.

BL: if you like your job when the bonus comes around it's a tough decision.  It just seems that so many don't like the job they're in at that point.

What changes are coming?

Increased amount. Early take option. Additional ADSC for assignment of preference. More contract options. Gen Miller briefed it in a small group I was a part of a couple weeks ago. Those were the interesting parts I remember

So they plan to release you from your ADSC when "needs of the Air Force" take priority over your base of preference, right?

I think that was actually part of it. Something like you get an extra year with BOP but if they can’t make that happen, they take the year off.

Military "BOP" lol.

...and my exwife told me she loved me too. 😄

And then do you get a cash payment when you missed out on that seniority at the airlines?

When, not if. If everyone that stays in gets base of preference, nobody gets base of preference.

As someone who got ed the last time the AF offered early take, absolutely don’t ing do it.

No, it’s better than that. The ADSCs won’t run concurrently. 

[SurelySerious]

No, it’s better than that. The ADSCs won’t run concurrently. 

Concurrent sentences was about the only upside to the program.

$50K is a lot of money, young peeps.  I recommend you sign early.

$50k is a lot compared to the stop-loss pay you’ll get if this China shit warms up.

Any idea on what the ANG is going to do? Will it be similar and when do they typically release it?

It’s nothing compared to the total loss of earnings they’ll experience if they delay getting out. Need at least $100k to be in the ballpark. Now for those who are going to stay in anyways, fuck yeah you should grab that money.

The ANG will offer the tiered approach, and is shooting for $50k/yr for one of the higher commitment periods (maybe 4+ years?) That is not approved yet to my knowledge. So checks in the mail. Probably will come out within the next 60 days.
