may be a silly question but with the time span available couldn't the vast majority of those positions be filled by either retirees or people parting after say 10 years with a guaranteed job available in exchange for taking a reserve slot or even without the reserve position?Well as i said before you are probably looking at 2 to 3 times the on shore support staff so the off the book expansion runs to 6000 to 8000 more and just the on the books plans are another 3000 to 4000(?)
