SRC said maybe a few in November and if you dont get recalled by then you'll come back in the spring. 500 more guys just to fly a few hundred more flights seems like a lot. That's a pretty solid number of guys for July just to fly basically two weeks in Aug before it slows down again. I'd bet that's their holiday staffing right there.

I dont think any cpts will retire rather than be recalled. They'll come back and burn through all that sick time now they have seen what it's like not to be going Mach 2 anymore

I'd expect upgrades this fall when the training center has some room.
