Doesn’t inspire confidence that we’ll actually receive any cash to get us by until then. Hope I’m wrong.
I think payments will be direct to employees but will be conditional on maintaining a level of training, simulators, EPs etc. If you have a second job and can’t be flexible to attend training, you’ll probably not qualify. Just my thoughts.
