Recent Class history:
Dec class of 8 was all 75 (4 x Z or “intl”)
Nov was all airbus (6)
Oct: 7 x 75/76, 2 bus, 1 747
Sept: 10 whale, 5 bus, 2 MD, 5 x 75 (1ONT)
Aug B: 7 x 75 (4 ONT), 1 bus
Aug A: 4 MD, 13 whale
July B: all 75 (3 MIA, 1 ONT, 3 SDF)
July A: 9 whale

All 74 and MD new hires were former heavy drivers, majority from civilian backgrounds. Obviously if you don’t have these creds don’t expect to be assigned the whale or MD. OTW, it seems the 75 will continue to be well represented for new hires.
