He has since worked twenty-two years for Alaska making him sixty-four.
AAG doesn't HAVE to fire him, but neither do they have to fly him, they can just drag this out another year and the problem evaporates, and no matter if he is on leave with or without pay, they are going to figure it's cheaper than taking the heat for putting him back in the cockpit.

Most of his 24 AF years were in the AFRES, so overlapped with the AK years.
Ah, so his lawyer LIED for him. She presented weekend warrior duty as if it were 24 solid years under active duty orders. Why then should we believe anything else she has to say?
I'll grant you, both AFRES and ANG people make real contributions to the active forces, but it isn't the same, and both he and she knew it. Makes you wonder just what else she is weasel-wording.
