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:

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
