Actually, there has been movement as people have bid on and off over the last year, just no newbs coming in until January to takeover the plug. Still nice to see em coming back

29 Sep. 4 months in the pool. I think I've maybe graduated from the blow-up floaties to a life-jacket.

Default Pool wait time

So I have read several people saying delta is trying to clear about the pool and have even said their goal is to have the pool empty by April (more instructors? More sim slots?). Is this realistic or even possible considering Twister just posted he is still waiting at 4 months?

When I hear empty pool that makes me think that once you have the CJO you would have a couple of weeks and start training. I have an interview in April and if all goes well I'm trying to get an idea of if there will still be a 4+ month swim by then.

I was a late 2014 hire with only about 6 weeks from CJO to class. I have a couple of buddies in the Feb 22 class this month who are June 2015 CJOs. So, 4 months is a good improvement. I've also heard they don't like the pool concept so my guess is it'll be back to some normalcy, i.e. a month or two at most from CJO to class around the time you interview.

I personally don't think the pool will be empty by April, or even the end of April. Too many people in it compared to the rate of people leaving the pool. DAL said they'd put through 100 a month but unless Badger's spreadsheet is way off, I'm not seeing it. I DO think that everyone in the pool will be assigned a training date by the end of April.

I've got a friend who got the CJO in late January or early Feb 2015. Indoc was about a 4-5 week wait. Wouldn't that be nice?

Surely the pool doesn't make Delta happy because they know that the wait in the pool is causing them to lose CJOs. I bet an April CJO could expect a wait of about a month.
