Seems I remember that back in the ‘60s there was a minor item when getting your commission that you could be recalled up to age sixty-nine.
I always wondered what they would do with a sixty-nine year-old 1st Lieutenant.

My son will help, as he is fixing to enter USAF pilot training shortly. We both said this is exactly what might happen.

If they’re recalling retired officers then those would be pilots with 20 or more years service. So they would be lieutenant colonels or full colonels. How is that going to help out at the squadron level?

This is not going to turn out well.
It is not as if these guys are sitting around doing nothing...

Shooting to bring back the 100’s of pilots who left under Obama I suppose.
The should call back some senior command officers who were forced out by Obama for various and dubious reasons.

My brother was RIF’d after 20 years in the Reserves as a major. USAF said he didn’t go to Air Command and Staff College so they sent him walking.
Apparently it was irrelevant that he was deployed for the better part of 10 years .......

Why is there never a hue-and-cry to import H1-B pilots?
Proof the whole "skills shortage" in tech is a knowing lie.

Taking it up the ass won’t be an excuse anymore for those that want out.

Those would be First Lieutenants then are Captains and Majors in today’s Air Force. And the same guy with a row of medals then has two rows of medals with identical experiences, IMO.
