The Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports a negative trend, which folds up in the air force. It is associated with an increase in the number of dismissals of military pilots from service.. In this case, the reasons are called, according to which Ukrainian pilots prefer to leave the service.
According to Oleg Gavrilko, representing the command of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, left the service in the last two years 140 pilots. Yet 40 going to retire before the end of the year. In this regard, the Ukrainian Air Force may soon face an irreparable shortage of trained personnel.. And this shortcoming is irreparable in the short term due to the fact, that for the training of cadets there is simply not enough proper amount of aviation equipment. Some are outdated in every way., others do not receive the necessary maintenance for years.
The Ukrainian media point to such a reason for the mass dismissal of Ukrainian pilots: "paper work (preparation of plans and reports) takes almost all the time instead of, to make real flights.
One of the pilots:
Three-quarters of our service today in time is filling out all kinds of reports, forms, drawing up and re-planning. Time for flight training is melting away.
It also talks about "the presence of other problems". And these problems are mainly related to monetary allowance.. So, The salary of a pilot of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is from 19 thousand. to 24 thousand. hryvnia (51-66 thousand). The squadron commander receives 3-4 thousand hryvnia more. At the same time, the officers (from major and higher in rank) in the National Guard and the National Police of Ukraine receive from 32 thousand hryvnia. That is why many military pilots write a letter of resignation and go to the service, eg, to the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
To stop the process of mass dismissal of military pilots, the Ministry of Defense has been discussing a possible increase in monetary allowance for a month now. But while the discussion is going on, troops continue to leave dozens of trained officers.
