Of course you can expect to be bottom of pay scale and likely seniority. A 5-10% basic cut and sign a 5 year $50k bond.

The majority will come racing back to cure boredom, finances or marriages.

Although I must admit, I’m thoroughly dreading the rosters. The longer ppl are out, the more entrenched at home or in new careers they become.

While I suspect most will still rejoin if asked, I also expect them to keep one foot out the door or leave families at home; waiting until a good commuting/part-time job appears.

I maintain there will be a squeeze on Captains, who are far more likely to not return due age, wealth, health, family, or career opportunities,
