So what, if any, impact does all this have on those of us in the pool? Is there likely to be a long(er) wait before we can expect to class up?

I doubt it. They've been telling us that 767 classes will continue for a while, and it certainly appears we've been late to staff the four airplanes coming next month. That, plus now they say they take swimmers in order, should make it a short paddle, hopefully.

Was just in MIA for a PT and sounds like they are going to increase class size to 12 and might be running two per month.

Any word on when the first 737 class will be, now that DHL wants to add 40 737s for domestic ops.

Raise the roof again. Another rumor. Hold on to your seats. It's going to be a wild ride. Seat locks expiring, 777, 737, contract negotiations......

Our pay is so terrible on the 737. It would be almost pointless for a 74 FO to upgrade on it if we ever got them. Besides a free type, of course. It's 75% of 74 pay for those not wanting to look it up ��.

For you young pups it may make sense (as it currently exists in our CBA) to take the left seat though...if you don't have too much PIC time (say less than a 1,000 that is required at DL or FDX?)...just sayin'!!

I don't think pay goes down, while it still isn't great, hourly pay actually stays the same until year 3. Section 32 para B1, last sentence...
