That said, anyone hear anything at the ATL base visit yesterday? I think LAX is next week, so maybe someone will ask if they don’t volunteer the info.
I spoke with 2 APDs in the past 3 days, 1 having attended the ATL meeting. They both said the number they’ve heard is 1000-1200. They and other DPS IPs have stated that they’re manned right now (or were) at the immediately post COVID rate, meaning capable of handling up to 23-2500 students per year, and have been as such even as the hiring has gone back to a normal 1000 people rate. I think they said ~30 DPS IPs were going to go away which stinks, and a certain % of SLIs would be back to the line. They’re just over staffed for the current hiring requirements.
