I had a suspicion something like this might come along at some point, knowing how tight it's getting, but I didn't think it would have affected the T-Birds....

The basics were that they do not have enough money to train new pilots at the moment, so the tours have been extended by a minimum of six months but more than certainly a year, which goes against their April posting of the 2014 new member selections. Now I can't find a whiff of the article anywhere.
