No, which is why I phrased it the way I did.
That said, I don't know why else an entire class would be sent home and told there would be no more training. Especially when a pilot shortage has been given as the reason why their planes aren't flying.
Hoping to be wrong for my friend's sake, but given the recent situation, I don't think I am.

Wow, that's just downright wrong! Did your friend tell you how many pilots were in that class? I trained at FSI Houston last year on the ATR and saw a few Via new hires there but haven't kept in touch.

"Pilot shortage"

They haven't paid the bulk of their employees for the month of May either. Pilots got paid though.
Can't afford to fix any of their aircraft. The one scheduled flight won't return until mid/late June and even that is a big maybe.
This has nothing to do with the pilot shortage. This has everything to do with terrible management decisions.

So sad actually.

JetSuiteX is hiring both FOs & quick-upgrade Captains on the EMB135. Bases are currently: BUR, LAS, and PHX. We have training classes starting monthly. There's quite a lengthy discussion from past/current pilots on: JetSuite
