The Air Force is seeking increases for retention and recruitment bonuses in its 2024 budget request as the service grapples with a pilot shortage and struggles to fill its ranks with new airmen.

As part of the Air Force’s more than $185 billion fiscal 2024 budget request, unveiled Monday, it is asking for more than $648 million in bonuses and retention efforts for 65 specialty positions, according to details released by the service.

Among those bonuses being requested are $250 million related to aviation careers, $45 million in initial recruitment bonuses for new airmen, and $12 million-worth of retention incentives for cyber-related jobs. Overall, the budget request represents a 4% increase over funding for the department as a whole for 2023.
