There have been lots of rumors lately about large numbers of people either no-showing for classes or quitting right after starting. So far, those have almost all been false.
To date, there have supposedly only been 2 people that no-showed for class. A few have had to push their start date back, mostly due to COVID or a death in the family/sick spouse/sick child. There have already been classes with more than initially projected because people from earlier classes that had to postpone joined a later class.
Also, there have only been a couple that left early. For the most part, these are from the AA WO that had class dates elsewhere that they really wanted to be, but took the flow because they would get the huge bonus for flowing to AA. Whoever came up with that flow bonus was really an idiot, but whatever. Free money for those that couldn't get hired elsewhere.
So, when you hear the rumors that 8-10 people didnt show up, or "half the class didnt even come back for week 2 of indoc" (as a APA rep recently told a bunch of people), it is completely false.
