Retired Air Force pilots welcomed back on active duty
https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDODAF/bulletins/1bab3ce
The VRRAD has been approved since July 11, first I've heard of it.
Wow... But guess I can't say I'm totally surprised...

So lemme get this straight...
"We are CRITICALLY undermanned in pilots AF-wide..." so we'll take 25 people back on AD. Wow, a whole 25 dudes.
Let's see...just CONUS we have SOCOM, CENTCOM, STRATCOM, NORTHCOM, & TRANSCOM. Then there is ACC, AMC, GSC, AETC, AFPC, & AFMC.
Assuming only non-joint billets get filled, that's like 2 dudes/dudettes per staff...whew, glad we're making a difference!
Oh, and my favorite..."You can't fly, but you have to get a Class II flying physical."
Only AFPC can screw up an Anvil with a rubber mallet. Oh, and Security Forces.

Well, looks like the 25 was set by law, not AFPC. And now the number is up to 1,000:

Sounds like there is a critical over demand for bloated staffs.... maybe start there.
Glad you enjoyed your retirement. You're going to be the COS for Gen Nobodycares in easteran crapistan. Oh and if you don't perform we'll admin sep you and say good bye to your retirement.

At this point it is, but I agree this is the first step towards the AF making it involuntary. Strange decision if they do though, it won't fix the problem and the CSAF understands this. Publicly he says the AF won't stop loss, but this seems like a slightly different way of doing just that in the near term.

The problem with stop loss is that they have to provide congress with a plan to end the stop loss program. Since they have been unsuccessful so far in any of those efforts, they would have a tough time justifying it to congress. This also assumes congress is doing their job
