You can expect that you really can't expect anything... Well maybe one thing and that's the one thing that is constant here... Change. If you expect something it will surely change. Especially if it's a flight schedule with a nice layover in a sweet location.

767 classes were on hiatus to get everyone through OE and should resume later this year, perhaps by August. You should be prepared for either aircraft, as you likely won't have a choice.

The new Atlas 1224 union web address has information, but I don't see any forum links there to post and read union information. Am I missing it somewhere?

On the Facebook page they say the forums will be in place soon.

3 classes in Aug. 10, 17 ,24.

The 17th is 767.

The only real reason to separate them is so they can decide who goes to what A/C.

Yeah I'm fine with either. If course the pay in the 747 is more attractive but either way it's a step up from my current job.

Why would they want to control who goes to which aircraft? Retention?

Previously typed pilots, probably. My 1/29/13 767 class was separated from the 1/28/13 747 class by one day so they could funnel current/qual'd 767 pilots to the twin with no opportunity to bid the 747. But at least we were junior.

They don't control it for the most part... Most classes have 74 and 76 slots and they are awarded based on an equipment bid put out before you even show up.

The bid is awarded based on seniority. Now if you are offered an all 74 or all 76 class. I then would agree that they do have control over who gets what.
