I'm not on the 88, but I just got the call for my first OE trip...starts one day short of a month after I finished 7576 school, which would have been great if I had known I was going to have a month off. When I finished school all I got was "we'll call you when we have something." I called them after about two weeks and got the same line. I get the feeling things are getting backed up pretty bad (or good, depending on how you look at it.)
