Not exactly related to the bonus, but to flight pay...my counterpart here in the office got an email from the local HARM shop that aviators in "Career Enhancing Assignments" (basically, any non-flying job that isn't coded specifically for a rated officer) would have flight pay terminated after 48 months, regardless of how many gate months you had. The guy referenced AFMAN 11-421 and said it over-rode AFMAN 11-402.
This seems counter to the entire idea of meeting gate months to get continuous flight pay.
Anyone else heard about this?
