Hey, there's a pilot shortage right? Dirk could play a grizzeled old colonial warrior dude. He could be she-Bucks mentor, the instructor from the academy that taught her how to fly hard and party harder. Bring him back for one Last go and let him go out in a blaze of glory saving the fleet.
Of course they could find him on the planet they left him to rot on in Galactica 1980.
