But I’d wait until you actually have the offer in hand to even ask the question of what’s the earliest class date available. Then it will show eagerness. That’s better than having it come across as arrogance even though - yeah, barring outright fraud between what you claimed on your application and what your logbooks actually show, the CJO is now probably yours to lose.
