ORIGINAL: HexHead You don't have to Release Pilots for a Withdrawal - the men & machines go to the pools. Now, if you're withdrawing a 1932 Clunker Ace squad, and there aren't any more Groups with this model, then they'll just sit in the pool, rusting away, unloved & forgotten (I would imagine). With Disbanding, what I'm doing is trying to save the Pilots as much as possible. Usually the Group Commander has to go, though. Can't have everything (or everybody, in this case). If you release all the pilots first, usually (always?) you will be able to go back into the pilots screen and un-check "Retain" so that he's no longer in red. Then if you use the buttons on the bottom (Release 5 pilots, 10 pilots, etc.) he should be released into reserve. This is if your group commander is also a pilot, anyway. Which is not recommended for combat squadrons. I have never gone into the reserve pools to check if this works, because even after releasing him from the pilots list (which will then be empty, with a 0 on the info screen) the commander still shows up on the air unit info screen in the commander's place. So I don't know if he shows up in the pools also. Usually I don't care, because I'm still getting 20+ pilots into the pools, partially or fully trained.
