Hopefully that would be the case.

Things are better for all airlines than in past downturns with less redundant competition and a tighter pilot supply that should inhibit ponzi scheme start ups somewhat.

Remarkable. The pre COVID plug can not only hold ER capt, but do it at 80-something percent.
This is “the good old days”. Not saying things are going to get worse, but right now it’s pretty dang good.

That post shows how many of each aircraft/base the class got. But sometimes guys post the results, in order, of what each pilot got. From the top seniority SSAN down to the plug.

You asked two questions in your original post:

"Anyone have the results of the 5/9 class? The list of what they were awarded in order of SSAN seniority?"

I directed you to a post than answered your first question and provided you the results....I'm sorry it didn't answer your second question .

We are bringing on a lot of airplanes in the next 2 years, 717 coming back from storage, used 737-900s, 737-10Max (starting 2025), A350s, A330-900s, and plenty of A321neos. So... we need some pilots.

No 5/16 class. Next class is 5/22. I think the break was to configure for larger class sizes moving forward.

Make sense. Thank you for the clarification!
