Air Force Secretary Deborah James, speaking to reporters on Jan. 15, laid out the stresses that the pilots endure, including six-day work weeks and 13- or 14-hour days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a typical pilot flies 200 to 300 hours a year, a UAV pilot averages around 1,000 annual hours, she said, as reported by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/checkpoint\/wp\/2015\/01\/15\/unrelenting-need-for-drones-will-prompt-changes-in-air-force\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/checkpoint\/wp\/2015\/01\/15\/unrelenting-need-for-drones-will-prompt-changes-in-air-force\/\">Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, many of the Air Force&#8217;s experienced pilots are nearing the end of their contracts. If they should choose to move on, it could lead to a serious shortage of pilots and affect missions in Iraq, Syria and other locations, the Post reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, Air Combat Command spokesman Benjamin Newell said the Air Force expects to lose more remotely piloted aircraft pilots to attrition than it trains this fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James outlined three options that the Air Force is already implementing to address the worry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Using the National Guard and Air Force Reserve to augment the regular-duty pilots.<\/li><li>Recruiting volunteers from the pilots currently flying manned aircraft who have some experience with drones.<\/li><li>Keeping volunteer pilots on UAV duty longer than originally planned, a move likely to be unpopular.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pilots endure stressful
