i posted this on another thread but this statement is not true. i personally know several people who were hired at skywest, 6 guys to be exact, that had passed their checkrides and were on the bro when 9/11 hit. they were sent packing and all came back to my school their in slc and were re hired as instructors till they were called to go back. i should know since the took a few of my students. it was 6 weeks before they were called back.

of course 9/11 was a different story than what we are dealing with now, but the fact remains they were hired and on the line when they were told to go back home and they would be called back later.
