The short answer is no one knows. They aren’t telling us anything either.
Supposedly, Flight Standards (line check) pilots have been told not to expect any classes until the new year. Many other folks also think classes will restart very early in 2026(vices later in 2026). Staffing has been pretty tight this summer, but that water is already under the bridge. They probably won’t hire for the fall, when things normally slack off until the holidays…
FWIW, retirements are 500/year until 2032. They can’t hold off much beyond the new year, IMO.
Keep the faith. And congrats.
