In my case, it was a full month. But that was a few years ago when you could count on someone showing up at the appointed time.


I don't know how deep the current pool is, but hiring pools here have a way of evaporating over time. Once the word comes down to start training again, they're probably going to be scrambling to find people to fill classes.

Apparently, some uncertainty has caused them to hold off running classes that we're pretty sure they need, but this business is weird that way. And this company is never overstaffed. If something has been delayed by a few weeks, they're not going to have 10 extra FOs just hanging around with nothing to do. They're going to wait until they were needed yesterday and then start training. And then 25% to 50% of those scheduled in the class will drop prior to the class date or simply no-show (which is just plain rude regardless of what company we're talking about). So you may get a panicked call soon for class date less than a week away, and then you can decide whether their emergency is also your emergency.


So my advice is to enjoy your summer and not think about it - watched pots and boiling and all that. If there's anyone at this company who can predict class dates, they're not saying, and the information we're getting is fairly vague.
