Of course, at the pace the recent AEs have been posted, they will have to wait almost that long anyway.
Yeah, really missing the frequent smaller AE’s!

Just got a CJO, but they didn’t give us any information as to the wait time for training.
Do they pass updates to people waiting in the pool? Any idea what the typical wait time is going forward? I’m starting a reserve gig and moving, but not really sure what timeline I should be using to avoid interfering with Delta training. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. -Turd

Wrong - CR has what would normally be a very, very hard to do job, but is now basically an impossible job due to the schizophrenic nature of marketing. IOW all these last minute route/ship/model changes are impossible to keep up with in the best of times. Add to that numerous fleets, huge retirements etc and you can see why what someone in management says today totally earnestly may be 100% incorrect tomorrow.
OBTW - For years I was very critical of this but as long as we are the most profitable passenger airline in the world I must assume that there is some method to the seeming madness.
Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I especially liked the bit about building rotations with enough cushion to absorb minor disruptions. This comes how many months after the memo telling us the rotations were becoming more efficient to save money?
