I also want to say that there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I know a few people, and including myself that have received money and were able or are in the process on getting a type rating.

The key is to be PATIENT. I know that's difficult with times right now, but hang in there. Be persistent, make a good case and hopefully everything will work out.
