1000 pilot Air Force recall
Who do we think this will be affecting most in the cargo ranks? Is it even worth discussing since there is probably a much higher number of retired officers in pax flying?

Really, folks? You believe it is involuntary? The volunteer-only force that we have is going to involuntarily bring back retirees... and that's what DoD wants?

The news stories keep saying "retired" as in served 20+ years and now receiving a pension; but do they really mean "separated"? Big difference. I forget what my IRR commitment was after I retired but I thought it longer for an officer who separated prior to 20 years.

They also had a Rated Recall Program in 2010. I was retired with over 23 years of active duty service, accepted the recall, and spent 4 more years on active duty. So did a few others I know personally.

This. And while the AF has stated they have no intention to do involuntary recalls, this does give them the authority to do so. And a buddy has told me the volunteer rate has been very low. I would expect a stop loss before an involuntary recall, but who knows these days...

Lots of options before they would resort to involuntary recall.
