I'll agree with smaller summer classes in 2006 and 2007 but 2005 looks like the class sizes and frequency remained constant even through the summer.

With more than 400 mandatory age 65 retirements/year, the company would have to shrink considerably for you to not be recalled for three years.

I expect at least another 125 or so letters to fill the April classes. We'll have to wait and see if they continue with these class sizes through the summer, reduce class sizes, or shut down training for the summer. Worst case scenario, you should be offered a class with a start date prior to Halloween.
