What class date you will get is completely up the Training department. If they call you with a class date, and you want something earlier, tell them nicely that you are available for an earlier one. Be ready because they might call you a week before the class date, though not likely.
This is second hand info, but a pilot that I worked with as an instructor got on with them in september last year. He recently told me that an email was put around that there are no plans for classes untill september of this year at XJT and the slots would be given to those that were in the pool by date of hire (interview). again, 2nd hand info, but thats what keeps getting sent around the campfire.
