I’m currently in training and I can confirm a few things.

The head scheduler DID leave for a short time to address a few things outside of work.

The list of available instructors is short. But from my understanding they are training staff at the moment, just seems they need to pass through the proper gates in order to be allowed to teach.

The equipment is holding together as well as it should. Keeping in mind, us students use and abuse it daily.

I hope things iron out soon so we can all start flying a real airplane again, I personally look forward to it.
