If it starts moving it will compound and only help them find people. The world has not completely stopped making pilots, however the supply is drying, so whoever gets the 1500 hour pilots will still be ok.

If you were near the bottom it could be a minor difference overall coming back, esp with the post above mine.

Either way I wish you the best, I feel for you big time. My Mom died of cancer 6 months after I started at Eagle. I was juggling a boat ton in my life, and as everyone on this forum knows, I was LUCKY I got NY out of training and stayed near home, otherwise I most likely would have quit too.
