But like you said its not up to us as long as our executives focus only on getting that extra tenth of a percent YoY RASM growth, which is unsustainable anyway. They are under our thumb and we can crush them at our leisure.

So when will we?

It'd be easier to hit them with the car once they totally step out into the road and are most vulnerable.

Grand Theft Auto taught me a lot about business.

Oh I agree with that! That's why I'm hoping they commit to serious capital outlay and then we dump on them. Hard. Like a hooker driving a lambo with a purse full of blow.

Just curious if any of the November or December poolies have received the "cleared to train" letter yet?

When does the 2nd year pay start? Is it 12 months from starting training or 12 months from the end of training?

12 months from the start of training.

How far are they into OTS guys for phone calls to start training?

i.e. Are Nov interviewees being given a class date to show up for training, and if so, how far are they into Nov?

And while I'm inquiring, how many were in the class that started yesterday?

Not sure about Nov interviewees but, as a data point, there are late Oct bubbas still without a training date. From the sounds of it, regional flow-ups will fill almost all the seats in the March thru July classes so OTS guys might have "some" seats but not many. That said, that timeline could all change if DAL increases training throughput in the coming months to match the demand that most guys on this thread have noted.
