Every bit of luck to them, in the best possible terms this is not the moment to be at any stage of commercial training, other parts of the forums saying it could be years before fresh new pilots are required. L3, CAE and FTE have all stopped training for now and the backlog that is building up is big, potentially many months of delays when they were struggling already to get people through.
However linking back to the original thread, there has been a shortage of instructors in recent years...so positions to fill there for whatever ATOs remain after this.
