A large number of airline pilots are Reserve, Air National Guard or military retirees. I'm still looking into numbers, but even with the reserve officers be recalled to active duty, there should be enough to free a sizeable number of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet. Indeed with the outbreak of fighting, it would be reasonable to expect a decrease in non-essential air travel, at least in the early days.
