They are not aspiring pilots, and they will not be offering drinks, snacks, pillows and blankets in flight. They are, instead, trainees enrolled in the Aviation Institute of Maintenance Manassas (a Washington, D.C. school), which opened in a shared hangar at the Manassas Municipal Airport in 2001 to train mechanics in the aviation field. It later moved to a Godwin Drive location.
