The vacancies left over for the Dec 5 class are looking unusual, 5 SFB, 6 FLL, 2 PIE, 2 LAS, 2 FNT, 2 SAV. That will change but just a ballpark.
the music stopped when we began only being able to hire about 15 per month (and decreasing) instead of 25-35. It will stay stopped until the new contract is completed whenever that is. Do the math, if we have 25 bases and only hire 15 a month, I wouldn’t count on anything. Dsm is not the revolving door it was a year ago. No reason it won’t be the new TYS where pilots have been waiting a year now.
