“Going back on active duty could make pilots eligible for the Marine Corps Aviation Bonus Program for fiscal year 2021, which starts on Oct. 1.”
FY21 began Oct 1st 2020. Clearly the article was written prior to that date, ie, 01/01/2020, not 01/01/2021.

"...But the coronavirus pandemic has left some airlines struggling as travel declined, raising the possibility that military pilot retention will improve in coming years."
That's some clairvoyant stuff right there.

While mil retention will clearly improve for at least a few years, that doesn't immediately fix the mid-grade shortage created by all of the pre-covid hiring.
Unlike airlines, one mil pilot is not interchangeable with another for most jobs. Need mid and senior leaders in squadrons, and also on staffs. An O2 or even O3 can't do most of those jobs.
