If classes are not split like they have been for the last couple of months, assignments are based on age (oldest gets first dibs). There was going to be a Jan 3rd and a 4th, but I believe they have been combined. Maybe because no 74 slots to be assigned (due to training backlog), so no need to separate folks based on experience? Last info from company is 74 sim to be up and running by February (to be seen), which should help training going forward. I believe we are also short on 74 instructors, so we shall see.
