Buckley Boy:
Thank god for that... but don't give them ideas. Your "plan" leaves huge swathes of the country completely uncovered and, IMHO, would be completely unacceptable.
Leon:
Correct. CAS should be getting briefed this week, as per JM's email.

You're not alone in this opinion. More than a few people have suggested to me that the mushroom treatment may be part of a ploy to see if enough instructors will sign off en masse to legitimate shutting down squadrons because they've shrunk below a critical mass to stay sustainable. Certainly, even if the fleet were declared ready to go tomorrow, there are plenty of people who are giving serious consideration of whether or not they want to serve under the current (and I use the word very loosely) "leadership".
