How do I get the standings to start running missions? Epic arcs have been proposed, but what if my standings are -1.9?
How will this proposal allow mission-runner to defend "their" salvage?
When you go shopping at a supermarket and earn "loyalty points", does that mean you are a factional supporter of that supermarket? Or are you simply accruing an alternative currency?
How would forcing mission-runners to join the militia increase interest in factional warfare? They're mission-runners, who you are now forcing into PvP. This will not achieve what you think it will. You'll have more people in militias who do not want to participate in FW, causing existing FW players to become disillusioned and unmotivated due to the increase in apathy.
Many people I know run missions to support their PvP habit. They run missions in "downtime", so they don't burn out.

did you realise that one of the best agents for minmatar is smack bang in the middle of caldari space, 4 jumps from jita. Considering the number of corps stations agents etc. in oposing space this is a very big problem for the proposed idea.

Two basic requirements would have to be met before something like this would even be feasible. First, you would need to let alliances join factions (or allow corps in alliances to join factions). Second, you would need to make the remaining factions joinable (why would the Khanid be any less restrictive on hiring than the Amarr?).
Instead of this, I propose a simple implementation: Increase rewards for pilots running missions for their own faction. Make it a sizable bonus, say 25-50% to isk reward and LP, or some such. Or make the bonus scale to militia rank; for example 5% times rank level. (Note that salvage would be unchanged, so this is somewhat less of an increase than is appears.) From a flavor-test perspective, it would make sense that the factions would be more generous in rewarding their own people. From a risk v. reward perspective, FW members have added risk of interception by hostiles. It would also draw more people into FW, and would also reduce the number of people in NPC noob corps. And frankly, FW has gotten the short stick on rewards. Heck, with the rank scaling, it would also encourage participation in plexing.

I could support some variation on this idea. It needs some discussion around the finer points, but at first blush it looks at least feasible.
