Overheard in the cafe today (not posting names in public, but they are not students):
ASA is likely to suspend hiring throughout 2003, to resume in 2004 but subject to resume if needed. They expect enormous growth at some point, they are just unsure when. The focus will be getting those in the program through and finished with the Saab sim time, and keeping them current.
I wasn't planning on the ASA Fast Track myself, but I don't like what it says about the state of the industry.
