I am hearing the "turnout" at OBAP is lackluster.

Half empty pilot briefings ( typically packed full standing room only) etc.

Anyone else feel the same ?

Sounds like it’s a factor or low time off due to summer flying and high cost to attend. Who wants to go to PHX in the summer anyways…

Did the last minute requirements have a part to play?

not sure. a buddy went and I asked him "how was it" he said the recruiters were awesome but crowds not as big as expected
