Out of those 500 how many are actually qualified?
I personally had two friends attend, both are civilian and PSA doesn't have a civilian RTP program.
Based on the RTAG facebook feed I would guess that maybe 100 of those people were prior military able to start their transition training a year from now.
There were maybe 25 - 50 people able and ready to start a military rotary transition that day.
While there are people in the pipeline - rotor transitions, civilian new starts, etc there will be no huge wave.
All that said, I believe our opportunity to exert the minuscule amount of leverage we may have had has passed us by.
