This, plus the December slowdown.
Someone mentioned 30 pilots per class. I don't think that is sustainable. With a goal of 400+ this year, and subtracting June/July/December (which they won't stop training, just slow it down), that's still only about 45 per month.
For those waiting, I realize this is THE hardest part. I started in the fall a couple of years back and the classes prior to mine (23) were much smaller. Just keep your spirits up, await the pool email, and unless JB is your target airline for some reason, keep those other apps up to date. It took some of us the better part of a year from application to class date.
Ever forward, never back!
