I seriously doubt this class winds up going, but they've got 9 more days before those new hires have to head to the airport to fly down there. I'm guessing postponement is inevitable and probably coming before Wed of next week.



It's not just an FXE area logistics problem either, because on from there you've got the class going to 3 different aircraft type initials at 142 locations across the country and in some of those places getting a hotel room or a meal is already not happening.



Then there's the charter demand collapse that started yesterday, major ATC disruptions worsening and I'm hearing there are now FBOs not allowing crews to enter the building. Sustaining private passenger aviation operations on a scale of XO Jet is getting more and more difficult by the hour. We are a near certainty now heading towards a national airspace closure except critical flight ops, cargo and medical related flights. Just the sheer economic burden of continuing to operate is going to become too much for these hi overhead 91k and 135 companies.



By the end of next week the big wigs will be discussing furloughs if this doesn't turn around before then. I'll be happy to find out I'm wrong, but the chances this class happens is slim to none IMHO.
