It's my understanding many commercial airline pilots are headhunted from the military. Most of those are likely to be recalled into service as replacements or to fly some of the older mothballed planes.
This may cause a shortage or qualified pilots in the civilian area.
Additionally, jumbos are somewhat vulnerable to enemy attack and could suffer from EMP. My guess is you won't see a lot of civilian flights after July 1997.
