Glad to hear that. I just don't wanna waste time waiting for a class date at LIFT. I'd rather be productive and get some stuff done.

ATP sponsored so I'd take it with a bucket of salt.

TL;DR guy says yes there is drought, restructuring will happen, furloughs too maybe, but flip side many people are retiring early, many giving up aviation for other careers, many student pilots leaving as well, so if a commited young dude could ride this one oht then he could make it if he is able to catch the wave when it comes up.

Overall, an okay assessment of things. He's with ATP so obviously there might be some bias on his part.

Might as well stick with ATP then, I don't think LIFT makes it through this.

wasn’t really an “accident” though.

You’d think I could. The media loves the sensationalism of an airplane event.
