It's actually worse on the phone. When you log in and all you can see is several old videos from leaders and social media type stories like "Happy birthday U.S. Airforce". You have to scroll down and hit links and then start navigating to what you want. It's a total waste of time re-design.

I was one of those trainees sent home
*She not he. I had left my previous job, as I had to move. And was 48 hours away from starting CTP course. I was a week away from getting paid, but only 2 days away from starting training. There's no way I could have stayed at the last job up till then. And they didn't need me back after I left. So I sat unemployed an ineligible for unemployment (eventually got some pandemic assistance at least). So yes I am jealous of those sent home, as they at least know that when the door opens again, they won't be flushed from the pool like I might. They also got their ATP written paid for, are.accruing longevity, get health insurance, and apparently even some pay. I'm not saying they got a sweet deal but from where I'm sitting it looks ok
I’m also working the graveyard shift at a warehouse right now to pay the bills, couldn’t find a CFI gig in the meantime, at least not yet. So I’ve certainly been hit hard, but trying to keep things in perspective.

I feel insanely fortunate that I was on property. I believe we were one of the last classes to start before training ended, so I have a seniority number, am getting paid a little, and still am collecting benefits and tuition reimbursement. My wife and I had discussed delaying my start date because we have a baby...very glad I went with the first class available.
