I anyone has any other information, I'm in interested to know about the latest myself.
I was to show up on a Monday to begin indoc and was promised to be sent to flightsafety right after. My future classmates and I received an email just the Thursday prior to indoc (mid March), saying we were not going to school, but instead just become right seat warmers until a further date. Since the guy who offered me the job was the CP, I called him up the next day and he confirmed the email, thereby going back on the training agreement. I resigned immediately, too many red flags for me at that point.

What this meant: the year-long training agreement would not start until they sent me to school, the CP couldn't tell me when that would be (he mentioned *maybe* September/October). Could not log flight time in the jet, especially as SIC, since the company still had OpSpecs A015, and I just plain didn't trust them at that point. Not a good way to start your new employees.
