There were 4 in the last class, and I will venture to say that you will see this type of number to be the norm.

Assuming that is all they need to staff, which obviously it isn't. There is good career progression here but in the end, money talks. People fresh out of college and in debt are going elsewhere for a reason. They have been targeting captain-ready pilots for so long, it'll be interesting to see how they plan to attract those 20-something CFIs. Now that UAL is a part owner, they might be able to invest a little more in their recruiting efforts, so to speak.

There are 8 - 10 scheduled to go for the next few classes. How many show up might be different.

Keep in mind that the company said it would be running smaller class sizes while they work on getting the training backlog sorted out.

Guess that's better than 4, but still, Nowhere near what we need just to handle the growth, let alone attrition.

I hope to god we can pull this off, but I'm not very optimistic at this point. Im actually surprised people are arguing about how many actual airframes we are or aren't suppose to get.....at this point, we're just trying to keep our head above water with the dozen or so that we have.
