"We meant to tell you that you will be in a class for the 400, not the Classic. You don't mind...do you??"
Welcome aboard!
I can beat that. I rode the prior job into the ground and interviewed about a month after they closed the doors. Six months later I get the call, something like, "Yeah, we talked about the 400 at the interview but we're running a Classic class and figure since you speak Flight Engineer you might be interested."
"Yes, I'd like a job."
So a month later I'm in MIA and after 4 weeks it's the day before my oral and the Suits walk in the classroom, "We're cancelling the class." I figure it's been interesting but three guys in my class had quit jobs to come to Atlas, they about died.
"No, no, we're just going to move you to the 400. But there's a 400 class going on now so go home for a couple weeks and we'll start over."
Atlas is a great place, if they could ever figure out some of the stuff we see, it'd be incredible.
