The guys in the April class are just getting through the oral right now. I have a bud who was supposed to take his this afternoon with SW but it was pushed back to tomorrow with DC.

I hope they make it through and this F thing doesnt happen!

Damn guys. What is the reasoning for this?

I agree with SAAB. I think it's going to be a rough summer.

i'm assuming we're losing US Airways? That's about 1800 hours of flying on 6 jets right there
