G-XO,
Not the most tactful thread I have ever seen!?!
Effectively nothing has changed. The advise to people considering flight training hasn't changed to last week.
Anyone involved with an integrated course needs to knuckle down and finish the commitment they have already made and not to let the stress and worry of recent events affect their training results, which presumably are of greater importance than ever.
A little tact and support to your future colleagues mightn't go a miss.
