Right now, a CRJ class of 18 starts every two weeks, and a 175 class of 10 starts once a month. So either the company thinks the pilot pool is gonna dry up completely, or more airplanes are coming.
If successful over the phone can an applicant pick and choose a class date. IAH base is a top priority.
