Everhart said he has already told airline executives that stop-loss is an option. 'I said to the industry … if we can’t meet the requirements, the chief could drop in a stop-loss — and you need to understand that,' he said."
And now the general appears to have had a change of heart ? Or maybe it was a steep increase in his pilots submitting separation papers to beat the threatened "stop-loss" that would interfere with their chance of hitting the big US hiring surge on the upswing ? Amusing...
"The Air Force moved quickly last week to quell concerns that it would force pilots to stay in uniform beyond their agreed-to separation dates."

A bit more. Gee, do ya really think so ?:
"The Air Force feels that implementing a stop-loss policy would cause pilots to flee the Air Force before the door closed, and they won't stick around to see if things improve."
