Assuming they can train 30ish a month (about normal for most training departments) you should still have a shot at getting a class. That is of course assuming that this oil spike doesn't become a permanent "price adjustment" and send a bunch of us packing. Also, I know you have an "in" at this regional because of your 141 program and don't have to interview or apply and blah blah blah. If it were me, I wouldn't let myself get locked in to one company. Easier may not mean it's the best fit for you. I understand that if you go somewhere else you have to fill out an application and go to an interview and compete with other pilots purely on your own merits and not where you went to school. Boo effing hoo. You may even find out that you're better off NOT going the "easy" route.

A bit of hindsight: I went to a 141 school as well (UND) and back in the day we had pretty solid relationships/bridge programs with 2 well respected regionals, Horizon and ACA. Needless to say, that has not gone well for some involved.
