It's going to go up again and when it will, there will literally be no more pilots because no one is training right now.

I somewhat agree with the OP however, hose 200 hour wonders who got in before him are still going to go back to that job before the CFI applicant because they managed to get the seniority number first. In the end you still take the backseat, it's all about seniority. This recession will affect hardest those who do not have any pt121 experience because when things pick up again, it's going to go in the order of furloughed, pt121,pt135 then CFI. I'm way out of currency but it doesn't matter if you're furloughed because we're going to have to do training again. I have decided to give up flying for the mean time and focus on other things until there might be hopes again for a recall.
