I am prior 121 as well. I was in the Dec. 8th new hire class and I'm still waiting to be scheduled for IOE. It seems many from the Nov. 10th class are either finished or very close. The majority of the Nov. 24th class is at least working on their IOE. Once I finish IOE I will be upgrading in the next vacancy available. Right now PSA is running two upgrade classes of 16 per month. I too made a lateral move after 7yrs with my previous company and I couldn't be happier with my decision so far. The paychecks have been painful compared to what I was used to, but it's a short term loss for long term gain. Right now I'm estimating being a reserve CA for 1-1.5 yrs. It may not be ideal, but I knew it coming in. Hope this helps. Good luck with your decision!
