For those wondering, recent update said there will be classes through the end of the year but slowing down a bit in frequency as the fall goes on. Though class size could increase so don't despair.

Class sizes are predicted to go up to 30, then to over 40. The last class of the year could have up to 60.

The technology in the planes just keeps getting older and older.

Im curious, I am planning to be in the December class, which I assume there is only one for that month. My question is, with the Cseries starting next spring, when would they start training for it? Also do they do a lot of training for the 7ER category over the winter months? My SSN is low so I don't think I'll have much choice in where I go. Hoping for ATL MD88 or 717 for the faster movement, but would love to get to DTW in the future. If I got DTW 717 that would be great too.

But who knows, it will partially depend on ultimately where they decide to put it. Recent new hires on seat lock will also be able to bid it so that might take some potential early new hire class slots.

Is the wait that backlogged now that you'd have a December class or is it an availability thing? Congrats on coming aboard!
