S 4373: Fighter Aircrew Career Flexibility Act

The Fighter Aircrew Career Flexibility Act creates a pilot program allowing experienced Air Force fighter pilots and navigators to take temporary breaks from active duty to help retain them in the service. Eligible officers can choose to serve in the Individual Ready Reserve for a period between four months and one year while maintaining certain benefits like security clearances, housing access, and pay. In exchange for this time off, participants must agree to undergo specific training to keep their skills sharp and will owe a service commitment equal to double the length of their break upon returning to active duty.
