Why are pilots in USAF so poorly compensated compared to other countries? Genuine ask.

Because they are contracted for 10 years so retention is forced. After ten years a good portion feel already committed to a career because they are 10 years in, the other half get out and make double to triple flying cargo or passenger airlines

IO1 got it right. My friend belongs to the other half who stayed in USAF. He likes what he's doing that's why he stayed.

To be honest, I think they are not poorly compensated. It's just that the roles in other industries are paid higher.

Hmm. USAF is not the place to earn money in the first place. But IO1 has a point too.
