Make that a definite 4. I am cautiously optimistic. At the end of last year I heard from a couple sources that the pool was almost non-existent (am guessing at less than 15 or 10). The holidays slowed everything down, only 1 class in Dec. Finally the holidays are over and it's back to full hiring mode of 2 classes a month! I have been in the pool for 20 months and figure the only way I'll ever get a class is if the pool is totally drained. I think this will happen with all the training that will take place this year.
I'm guessing that me and a couple others on this board and flightinfo just barely made it into the pool, but we did make it into the pool and hopefully will be called. That will be a sweet day for the others and myself
