If I remember right hiring started in the beginning of May and from what I’ve read here classes have been starting weekly and that would be well over 5 classes so far.
Most of the information is correct. They have been running classes almost every week since May, however many of those were for pilots that were hired back in Feb/Mar 20’. The first “real” new-hire class this year (01-21) started training May 19th. We are now on class 06-21, which started June 23rd. To date, we have added 49 pilots to our seniority list this year.
