Thats how the industry is, sink or swim. Of course I don't know how student pilots will be able to survive not getting Paid and getting furloughed. Ouch its hurts when you are getting paid and getting layed off. I can only imagine how it feels to pay so much and get it in the rear after they take your money. Sounds illegal and very shady. I don't feel sorry either, in this industry they should have known it was coming.
