This report is one of a series examining officer career development. In response to the ever-growing shortage of pilots, the Aviation Duty Officer community was created. This officer designation was designed for pilots who have demonstrated outstanding aviation skills and who wish to remain in flying-related billets throughout their careers. The purpose of this report was to help policy makers assess fleet acceptance of the new community. Questionnaire data from pilots (N=2,353) were analyzed to answer specific questions regarding fleet perceptions. In general, an ADO-type career was acceptable to 49 percent of the pilots. However, only 12 percent of our sample find the ADO program acceptable when taking into account the lack of squadron command opportunity. Recommendations were presented regarding how to improve fleet acceptance of the ADO program. Keywords: Pilot retention; Career policy; Prototype models. (kr)
