Actually, while the instructors may not know what's happening, it's the tale-tell signs: classes beginning or being cancelled, part timers being called back to the sim or being sent back to the line, or hiring IOE guys, or it's put on hold. We usually see some kind of movement, before any announcement takes place. It's sort of like waiting for a gate. Is the plane there now have it's beacon on, or are they deplaning? My perspective anyway.
