This was explained in the original response to your question, but you may have missed it with the other information.

MIA has been awarded in several new hire and/or recall classes, so holding the base could happen quickly, if you get 175. Holding a line is going to take much longer. No one can say with any certainty how quickly you could hold a line anywhere as the last 18 months have completely destroyed any data points. It could be four months or two years to be off reserve.

They would start every two weeks with indoc and then break down with one group continuing and one group delaying a week. The sim space, training devices and instructors determine throughput. My understanding is at least one of the 145 sims ENY uses is being relocated, so using a different facility, which is something they don’t like to do. More $. But there is no reason to do an indoc class every week. One instructor can do one student or 40 and if they were doing indoc every week for 20 students instead of every two weeks for 40, that’s a class room and instructor for a week that can be used for other training.

Now, that being said, they can do what they want. There are some reasons they might choose to do different start dates, although a phased onboarding where you get a seniority number already does that.

for some it would be perfect ie. The ones who were commuting to DFW to instruct, instead now they get hotels etc paid for.
