Ya Togalock is right. Statistically 1 time does not constitute a trend. Looking backwards in time class sizes were 50, 56, 51, 55, 57, 47. The same thing happened when no upgrades were announced one month. Since then they have continued in the 10-20 range as expected. With that said I am watching this closely as I am very curious how long our contract negotiations will take this time around and the size of the new hire class and amount of people leaving each month will have a huge impact on that. Personally I think retention is the much bigger issue than class size. We’ve lost Jan-18, Dec-22, 15, 16, 22, 14, 26, June-30 since I have really started keeping track.
