If that slips for some reason the classes are a month apart after that. My issue is not the timeline as much as the communication. If they said, you'll be in a class on December 24 just hang in there, I could deal with that. So I've got a dilemma - would getting a short term job impact the background check (again) and thus delay it more? What about those in a non-flying gig? Now recency becomes a bigger issue. My situation is unique. Most people would just slog it out at their current employer. I don't have that option. It's not like we're going to starve in a few months but it's no fun burning reserve fuel (although that's what it's there for).
They can't communicate what class you'll be in because:
1. The class sizes vary more than you think.
2. People defer, or even refuse to accept a class frequently.
3. It frankly isn't, and shouldn't be, a priority as long as they are running classes.
I was in the "pool" for 13 months. I interviewed in November, and they started communicating with us in March when it was clear that we wouldn't be in class that Spring, Summer, or Fall.
So what kind of communication are you expecting?
