All the FE awardees are accounted for in the dates I posted above, with the exception of 5 FO to FE displacees who were not given a class date due to military conflicts. The training dates awarded (or assigned to probationary and previous bid pilots) accounted for 33 trainees starting class in June, July, and August, and another 34 who start in 2009.
There is room (IMO) for classes in the fall, if the company should find it necessary to hire. I do not believe Manpower Planning has any information re. DHL at this time to predict hiring one way or the other. I do not think they are in the loop as to the DHL negotiations.
