Yes the class is mixed between LUS and LAA. Nice they emailed and tried to accommodate each person. Leads me to believe it will be a sizable class for sure.

Congrats!!

It sounds like you guys are actually being assigned a "side" earlier than in previous classes. When I got the email confirming my class date in May of this year, they asked which side we preferred, but no one actually ended up with a choice. They assigned guys living in PHL to AA and others who live in DFW and LAX got US.

We found out just a few days before class if we were assigned to AA or US. Hopefully they've switched it to allow more people to choose what works best for them.

I'm glad they didn't forget us either. It was a long wait for the CJO (9 months) after the f2f. I'm definitely accepting the job offer. I don't care if I go to AA or US. Currently I'm sitting in the Middle East flying combat missions. I have no idea what comes next but I can finally exhale.

So true.

Guy called me this week - "I just got hired." My hair stood on end, it's a huge moment.

Congratulations.

From what I understand they will try to accommodate what side you want all through 2016. Hear they will be running classes of about 40 every two weeks in 2016. I'm sure there will be some slow months but enjoy the ride for all those hired.

^^^ that's 1000/year +/-

80/month = 30 AE, 13 PSA/PDT = 37 OTS.

Previous guidance was 750/year. Some comments of 800/year.

Do we need to hire that many? PBS is going to reduce staffing even more. 2015 was stagnant at least as far as US goes. I even went backward.

That is what I am saying too.
When we finally achieve a single AOC/FOS next year, I think we will see a reduction.

Here's a complication for the OTS guys - recallees reduce the OTS count but don't impact the flow count.

Rough WAG is 300 OTS in 2016 minus recallees.

Company WAG is 100-150 will accept recall by the drop dead date of May 6th. Leaves 150-200 OTS slots.
