The september class date in the vacancy was for an UPGRADE class, not new hires.
The vacancies for increased new hires will follow, probably later on in august or early september, right around when you will start anyway.
I realize its hard to wait, and there are many of us who had to wait over a year like alaskabound said. The plan is being finalized, and believe me, if its anything like last year (and it will be) once they know, the floodgates will open and the pool will empty practically overnight.
10/week is going to happen, I would expect to hear something in the next 2-3 weeks once they finalize the training plan and sim schedule for the next 12-16 months.

The vacancy that was posted today was for pilots hitting the line in october. The new hires that are included in that vacancy are already on property since it takes about 3 months from the start of home study till you can be considered eligible to bid for that month.

There is also nothing in the alignment about a new hire class date. In fact new hire class dates aren't sent to the entire pilot group in any mass communication format. The training center may or may not give you an update when you're in the school house for recurrent, but to say that realignment or vacancy bids have any new hire class dates is flat out wrong. In fact even trying to predict class dates based on position bids is flat out wrong because nobody bids until they've actually been hired, so please try and keep the information accurate.
It's frustrating enough to be treading water. Getting wrong information just makes it worse, but fortunately things are moving and good things will come to those that wait.

Be careful about what information you put out there. Although the vacancy indicates 8 new hire positions, they're most definitely for people already on property and people that will be done with IOE by September.

How does transportation to training work. Remember reading something about having to find your own way to MN. But can't find it.

For first day orientation, you buy a ticket. But don't buy a return ticket because you'll have delta travel privs by the end of that day and probably your ID badge too, so you can jumpseat home and list standby to all future training events. You are also responsible for your hotel and getting to/from the schoolhouse during the remainder of training.
