I'm a total noob when it comes to all of this, was just taking a stab at it.

Could change, but last I heard classes are full for the next few months. Probably why it took so long for them to move you up, needed a spot to open. Welcome to CP

Thrustisamust, squeaky wheel gets the grease. New hires are always sliding in n out of classes for various reasons. If you catch a certain pilot recruiter who assigns new hires to classes (JC) at the right place right time, you might be able to move into an earlier class. Same thing happened to me. Doesn’t mean they are having trouble filling classes, just timing/luck.

Thanks! I'm ready to roll

I have def been squeaky

Naw, probably just had someone defer or drop out. A lot if people have multiple applications to multiple regional's and if the one they REALLY want most comes up, or just one they can get into quicker, they cancel out. For that matter, some people just misjudge how long it will take them to REALLY get their mins, and have to slide to a later class because of weather where they work shutting down flying. It's more common than it is unusual.

But welcome to the party. Summer flying will be starting right about the time you are done with IOE. You DEFINITELY are not going to have to worry about getting your consolidation time, most likely in les than 6 weeks.

And after you get your 1000-121 and DEC at Envoy “when CPZ closes” you can tell your FO all about how bad CPZ was.

Does anyone know what the hiring plan is for the year? Last I heard was only 4 for January.

Smaller in January because lots of upgrades, they mentioned it on the call. I think 16 upgrades if I remember correctly. Not sure about hiring #s for the months going forward though.

Yeah we are sending recruiters to do office work for the first time this month. Haven’t had guys out there for a few months now. So definitely going to be ramping up hiring.
