at least if gives them time to plan for the mass layoffs coming. Many truck driving schools have stopped accepting applications due to volume.

what is your area? Your area is not representative of all areas. Open your eyes before posting such comments.

Did you call schools in Namibia, Pakistan and Japan? It's impossible to get a class.

get in class ASAP. UA sent out the intention to get rid of the 757 tonight. That leads to regional reductions by default. The 320 is next and
will lead to more on top of the 50 seater elimination. With DL needing to get rid of 3000 pilots and AA 6000, our Skywest flying is likely to be 50-60% less for a few years. Bottom 45% should be updating the resumes.
