Incorrect and AMR’s situation doesn't affect us. Our class dates have not change, only the ratios within them.

Only other communication I got was something yesterday just asking us to be patient and seeing who could be put on a short call list if any class spots open up.

From what I understand there's a lot of internal upgrades and transitions occurring and the new hires are(rightly so) not high on the priority list.
Correct, currently there have been a LARGE number of transitions awarded (EMB -> CRJ) and they have priority over new hires. Expect 2 out of every 3 new hires to go to the EMB as backfill until late spring.
