Beginning Sept. 7, 2017, the Air Force will implement the Second Assignment In-Place Pilot Program (SAIP) for active duty, late-career fighter pilots and weapon system officers. The Air Force will allow limited fighter aircrew to extend their time at certain assignments. Airmen in career fields 11F and 12F who have less than a three-year active-duty service commitment and fill instructor pilot or evaluator pilot billets may be eligible for SAIP if they are lieutenant colonels or lieutenant colonel selects with 17 or more years of Total Active Federal Military Service, or majors not selected for promotion with 14 or more years TAFMS. Sixteen bases at three major commands are selected to participate in SAIP. Eligible Airmen interested in SAIP should talk with their chain of command.
