There's also nothing that states that aerospace phenotype warriors can't pilot mechs. And on top of everything else it isn't even certain if Jiyi has any aerospace phenotypes in his forces. The sibko program on Sudeten was disrupted by Malvina's tantrum on the planet, and he wasn't going to get any in the Bear cadets he absconded with because the Bears never bothered adopting that phenotype.
I mean it is unlikely pilot is going to pass TOP for mechwarrior when they failed what they were brought up as, though it could be an interesting idea that they receive a crash course training in a "what do we have to lose" sort of situation. Honestly, that would be kinda cool.
I'm sure he has ASP. There would have been solahma of them too and it mentions in AQoS that his Jumpship scrambles fighters during their escape (I just read that chapter preparing for Wednesday). Even if he doesn't, the sibkos still exist (albiet, they won't be usable for another 5+ years or so).
Not going to respond to the other points, because I don't have much to say other than good point (the point in this post were good too, I just had something other to say to it). Like I said, I don't think it is likely, just a possibility. Though Money reminding of the implants and damage they cause knock it down to 1-2% (and only then because I'm stubborn).
Long term, Wolves should be able to recruit from Terra. But without a dead Alaric or Alaric suffering some character growth, are the Falcons and nuJags going to be allowed to?
nuJags theoretically have New Earth and a way to recruit. Alaric will have Terra. But Terran falcons are the worst off with no sibkos, no territory to conscript from.
This is one of the things I kind of expect iKEO to raise as an issue, but the followup will really answer.
Honestly, I think both might be screwed. Though the Falcons intentionally so. Pretty sure Alaric basically said he wants the Falcons to stay a tiny Clan. I don't think he cares about their Bloodnames surviving. If they become Blackwatch 2.0 and have anyone good enough in the entire Inner Sphere join them, he'd be just happy or even happier. He mainly sees them as a trophy.
The Wolves problem comes into Alaric's arrogance and seeming indifference that the Wolf Empire is going through. If they say "screw it, we're on your own anyways," well, suddenly, he doesn't have sibkos either.
