Alot of guys that have been bypassed are trying their hand at another gig e.g USA aviation. Some are being the stay at home dad or letting their partners pursue their careers.
Some wont come back but i get the feeling within the last 24 months of recall expiry (April 2026) alot will take any seat back at VA to secure their seniority. Tiger guys taking spots or VANZ captains taking a right seat for a short term until the left opens up
