I see in the chart that the 7 and 14 April classes only show 1 and 10 for class size. Can we assume that these are actually 25 and that once the flows fill their positions the remainder that month will be filled by OTS and everyone after will move forward a class or two?

Cleared to train?

Anybody with a Jan interview get a "cleared to train" yet? Just wondering where they are on that…doesn't seem like it should take very long to do a background check.

I think a lot of us got the OK to train letter which had a quick and confusing follow up, leaving it unclear whether we were actually cleared to train. I called back to the hiring office. They looked at my profile and let me know that I was marked as OK to train. I don't know if it was the same for everyone but my initial thought is that if you got the e-mail, you are cleared and the second e-mail was for expectation management irt start dates. Jan 21st interview btw.

Some places take the full amount of time to respond to PRIA requests. 30 days? Can't remember.

Summer 14 block hour program is rumored to be very aggressive. Some aircraft will be very short on pilots. That may be why they may add another APR class. After that it's to late for the summer.

They've already waited too long to hire/train. My credit for March is 124.5 hours & my April line was constructed at 87:55. I think run of the mill green slips are going to morph into green slips with conflict this summer...on a regular basis. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank

. I think someone FINALLY got through to Anderson about getting ahead of the delivery/training/retirement bubble coming 2-3 years from now...and I think the ship has already sailed. We're all going to flying to the far's for the next 5 years.

December interview. No emails or cleared to train letter. Was told that "no news is good news".
