does the drop in advance only go out to the flows or to the off the street folks as well? If that is just the flows than you are correct it will be a normal size class.

The compass flows for this May 4 class have been held by compass for the past 90 days. They selected their category and base when they were assigned a seniority number...almost 90 days ago. I know a couple of flows who received Airbus and 7ng

Yes that means the compass flows for the May 4 class have seniority over roughly 150-190 pilots who started class before the compass flows. How is this possible? Bc the flows were assigned a seniority number by Delta, in the contract compass has liberty to hold back flows for a max of 90 days, hence they have much higher seniority than the rest of the May 4 class (someone please correct me if I am wrong - please)

Its similar to when the furloughed bypass pilots showed up. They could take a class in 2007-2014 but would have their seniority from their original class date in 2001 (etc) even though they'd be in class with new hires.

When we got the cjo AK said that many folks start indoc befor they get the cleared to train. They have a very very low number of people that aren't cleared.

Thanks for the reply. I know in the past it took about a month. Now that there is a small pool I was curious if it was still taking that long or longer. Anyone recently get their cleared to train letter and know how long it took? ? Thanks.
