hmm....if he said they might hire a couple more towards the end of this year, did he imply anything about additional classes than the one he told us they were planning to have, with 6-8 pilots in September??

Unless I mis-understood him.. Maybe he meant by hire to just get the rest of the guys in the pool into a class.

For those of you waiting classes, find something else to do for a while cause movement in the company has slowed down drastically. I have been on the line since January and the past three months held a build-up line(half reserve/half hard trips) January and February I broke guarantee. This month, the only trips I did where the ones assigned on my build-up. I went for 27 days without flying, my roommate who is straight reserve went for 42 days without flying.

On a side note rant- my trip trades still get declined due to "coverage" even though I haven't flown a reserve trip in a while.

I agree with three green...that doesn't sound too credible. Especially considering from what I've heard.

Maybe by hiring what he actually meant was just starting a class from people already in the pool.. probably just some miscommunication.

Dont know what went down on 335, I don't even think they know yet.
