Two new hires short on one of the June classes created the "displacement" which is really just a re-balancing. This per the email that was sent out alongside the vacancy bid.
Summer classes have dropped to one per month due to the need to have instructors on the line. The intent is to resume four classes per month at the end of the summer flying season. This per instructor chatter at my recent training events. Most classes have a capacity of 15/16 so maybe they also reduced class size over the summer?
