Any idea the size of the classes? If there anything like the most recent class sizes, it would take over 20 classes to clear the pool!

Before peak, they were talking 30/40 per class, twice a month. This is all predicated on training capacity since that's where the bottle neck really is.

Go back and look at class drops. They were pretty consistent every other Monday (Sunday for MD) and roughly 20 per class. Fedex has been hiring roughly 500 per year for the last couple of years. I would say roughly 10 classes to clear the existing pool.

What's the history of when the restart hiring after peak?

How many are in an indoc class (how long will it take to turn through the 170+ in the pool?

I could and may be wrong, but you will likely not see a Fedex class until mid 2020 at the earliest. If I were a Fedex hopeful, I would be hedging my options. Not saying the Fedex dream job is gone, but it most likely is in the short term.

I’d be surprised if we hire in 2020 at all based on this last earnings call and mention of being overstaffed by “several hundred pilots”. I hope I’m wrong...

Isnt DAL hiring 1500 pilots this year. With these earnings reports missing and the coming challenges with Amazon not sure why ppl want to come here so quickly. Go to DAL and come here when things settle down.
