First, you would have to know how many unbid positions were left from the latest AE and then keep track of every single indoc class to know how many of those unbid positions remain to be filled.
Then if you knew that, you would have to know the company short term sim training capabilities in the 4-6 weeks following your particular indoc date.
One class could have a peanut butter spread of 3-4 planes to every domicile. then next class, Boom....30 x NYC A-220's and 30 x NYC 737's.
Past performance does not guarantee future results come to mind.
You have anxious people interested in the one part of the process they have some semblance of control over. They would like some reassurance - any reassurance - about that part, that might give them their opportunity to get their base of choice or at least an aircraft that might allow them to promptly get to their base of choice. It’s emotional, not rational, but it’s sort of how most people are. They are just being human.
