Yeah, high paying jobs. If they're the Gung-Ho type, some might end up with Blackwater. They have some Little Birds out there. |

the wing flies OV-10 Bronco fixed-wing attack planes and MD520MG Defender attack helicopters. those aircraft are VERY IMPORTANT in close air support and ground attack missions. |

the pilots have completed their mandatory 8-year service, the lower ranks will now have the chance to move up and get promoted to replace them so i don't there's much of a problem as long as they were trained properly as i believe they were n the PAF Flying School. |

Soon even the maintenance crew and technician will leave the air force, when that happens even ordinary repair will be sub contracted |

Only if the PAF has the funds to pay for it. Our National budget does not allot that much to the AFP in general. So at the moment, every PAF technical expert and pilot are important to the cause .

The PAF may have lost 20 pilots. I do know that the PAF needs to offload personnel to free up funds for maintaining its aircraft. However, the PAF cannot afford to lose junior officers especially pilots with experience and NCOS especially A/C maintenance crews. The AFP is already short on well-trained junior officers and NCOs. These are the people needed by the AFP to give the troops quality leadership in the battlefield. They also provide highly needed skills in the frontline like flying combat aircraft and restoring them into 1st-line condition. |

i wish the 20 goodluck and enjoy their new life! they deserve it. they have served the nation. also to the ground crew, mechanics, technicians etc. if they wish to leave or already did so. if personel hiatus proves to be bigger, then this might be a good reason for our beloved PAF (ye olde dinosaur) to trully 'modernize'. |
