FYI for OTS poolies, 16-18 per month from Endeavor through December. They've been splitting it between classes in varying amounts each month. The 9e pilots with Oct dates all interviewed in May or earlier.

Our class had a mix of new hire FO paired with new hire FO as well as upgrading CA with new hire FO. It seemed fairly random as some above and below me in class seniority had FO vs FO while I got a new CA. I am sure they try to get CA and FO pairings as much as possible. Either way, there is no choice or bidding. You get handed a schedule and it is what it is.

They always try to match the straight ones with the gay ones...

Makes for a really fun night 'in the box' so to speak!

OTS has been much quicker through the summer because SSP hires and flows were held and metered to help staffing at Endeavor. With the fall schedule, that has ended. OTS might slow down some until January, but it is still shorter than the current SSP wait. YMMV, just providing some info.

Congrats to all swimmers! Excited to get to class soon!

He would fly my Montreal turns at the end of a four day so I could catch a commuter flight to ORD. Try that now.... Winthrop Yacht Club, you pays yo' dues at C/S... Oddly.. the F/O's were not fond of that deal.

AF is calling OTS for 10/20. I'm a deferral, and the class is already half full. 50 person class, so probably 25ish still to get filled. Not sure how many more he was calling today. I told him I would pass on info, so he wouldn't get a million calls.

No guaranteed dates for Nov or Dec, but he thinks there will likely be 2 classes per month like there have been.
