They most likely won't tell us this directly because of how fluid it could be so we don't make any plans to start just for it to change again. The other unconfirmed rumor is that AA isn't going to resume hiring/training until next June so they may lead to smaller classes in the future again. Now it’s just a waiting game.
I interviewed with AA on Tuesday (got the CJO!) and they told us we were the last group of interviewees for the year. We were told that January would be the start of training for the hires currently in the CJO pool and for us new hires to expect a wait, most likely April.
