Yup, some of these junior DAL guys forget that anyone can access Widget Seniority...there's no hiding the facts. Everyone has to pick the right path for them and their families, there's nothing wrong with being stuck as the plug at a place like DAL or waiting for 8-10 years for junior upgrade, BUT lying about the reality of the situation is absurd. The arrogance of some of their (particularly post-covid) hires never ceases to amaze me - not sure if that's an intentional part of their hiring process or if it's just a side effect of their propoganda machine.
We all do the same job, looking back in 20 years most people will care more about the course of their career and how it affected thier families vs the 2025 brand image of their company and how happy the shareholders were.

If they run summer classes you might get a call
If they don’t, Fall.
To get back on topic - seems like the first round of 2025 new hires have been finishing up IOE this week. Still no official word on whether classes will be run this summer. To everyone with a CJO - it's not uncommon or any cause for concern if classes aren't run between June and August. Likely just means they want all hands on deck for summer flying.
