A new second lieutenant makes $34,862 per year, and a missileer in that rank is eligible for bonuses of up to $300 per month, along with additional bonuses for those who complete initial skills training and targeted incentive pay for airmen operating outside their main base.<\/p>\n<p>After six years, pilots are eligible for aviation pay, which then makes them the highest paid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to pay, the Air Force has provided new vehicles to officers, deep-cleaned their launch control facilities, and adjusted their schedules to improve their quality of life, Harencak said Tuesday at an Air Force.
