Does anyone know generally when the last class date was canceled? I was hired back in March as an off-the-street hire and I'm trying to gauge where I might be on the waiting list.

Most definitely not. I just came back from training, we have been and will continue to start 18 every two weeks. Maybe you’re referring to orientation?

I would like to assume that the next class date for Envoy is February 10th? In that case, has Envoy started calling cadets for that next class and when did many of them hit their minimums? If they have not made the call yet, any rumors on when they might do so?

We ran another vacancy bid. The next class should have their pick of FO slots in all 4 bases since there are projected vacancies in all bases. Eventually they will start sending everyone to ORD again until the next vacancy bid in 3 months or so.

There were no forced upgrades and no MIA captain awards. Anyone who wanted ORD captain got it and will continue to be able to bid for and get it between vacancy awards. PHX and DFW CA slots were filled and some were disappointed they couldn't hold it. I expect this means the urgency to hire DECs and experienced FOs is gone and they will see no reason not to continue to prioritize cadets.

February 10th and February 24th make sense for the next Indoc class dates but I have no inside knowledge on that.

Last weekend they burned through the entire reserve list of Captains in ORD by 10AM. Yes it was related to a bit of an unexpected snow storm that was supposed to blow through instead of getting stuck in a low pressure system. As an ORD Captain, I am constantly flying and I can never drop a trip. Yes it is true that there is an excess of Captain ready First Officers and have heard rumours of forced upgrades. I guess we will see.

to my knowledge there were no class calls made today that were shared with others. The ones that I know waiting hit mins in July 31, a couple in September and early-October. . Signed cadet contracts Oct 7,8,17th. Does anyone know if those calls will be made this week or next for February class? Or had that just been a rumor? Just wondering like everyone else about the list they are using to make calls for class dates. Thanks

did you have a class date cancelled? A buddy of mine got an email saying once the cadet pipeline is dried up the focus is on OTS hires with cancelled may, June, and July classes.

Yeah, I got the call for the orientation class on June 6th which got cancelled shortly afterwards. I received the same email so hopefully we'll get the call soon.
