Most F-14 squadrons are getting full transitions from Tomcat to F/A-18E/F.
Of course, some aviators are always left on the table during the transition.

But is it so simple now, in the times of Fleet Response Plan?

There are only two left now, VF-31 and 213, and as been reported, one
will transition immediately, one later; guess which one has the
"immediate duty" as part of FRP? The latter squadron.

Keep in mind that at transition, it isn't going to be all the same
aircrews reporting back to the newly designated VFA in any event.
