Take it easy on the guy. He asked a simple question, and doesn't need to be harrased about his "situational awareness". He even said he's read on here that there's a standstill. He's doing his homework, he's just asking the guys on the front lines their opinion on the matter. What might be obvious to us could be no so clear to people optomistically looking in.

That being said, I agree with meritflyer and Rama. There's plenty of commercial flying to be had these days, just not with the airlines right now.
