Indoc class size updates... I got the chance to talk with BB yesterday (24 Jul 15) and I specifically asked him about class sizes. He said they're on track to hire about a 1000 pilots a year. The TA had "no effect" on current class sizes or near-rock hiring plans. If the E190s were purchased, he said class sizes would have gone up slightly in Sep of 2016, but that's it.
Expect 20-25 flow throughs each month and off-the-street (OTS) hires holding class sizes around 30 until September where they'll go up to about "40'ish" and hold there for quite some time. Delta front loaded their large class sizes in the winter and plans to do that for CY16. So, seemed like very good news.
He did ask me about the wait time from the end of Indoc to training start (20 days for me... Low SSN), so I do know that's in his cross check as well.
