Not talking about Feb class cancellation, but the suggestion that they want to put more weighting into hiring cadets as opposed to OTS hiring.

Word from them is that they were told to expect news about that after the first, and that training going forward would have "more cadets"
Previously, I know they had only a small bucket of cadets in each class. They wanted to have a balance with more experienced applicants.
One in particular cadet got jerked around by ATP for the A320 type, and booted him after the CTP. F9 told ATP to get it fixed or the training with them stops. It didn't get fixed - so I'm not sure what the state of the ATP A320 type rating situation is moving forward. That other cadet was taken care of by F9 in other means, put into the Feb class - but then flight ops canned it. There is a disconnect between flight ops, and the people managing the cadet program and class dates. Lack of communication seems to be quite common around here.
Well, I hope we get some good news. As someone slated for the March class, I'm hoping not to get pushed back yet again. But I get that is just how things go sometimes. Couple more months of instructing wont hurt.. that much.
