My guess is they underestimated and are surprised at how little open time there is with Reserves being allowed to pickup open time on days off with new contract... I just looked - Denver has 10 pairings for rest of month - LAS 6 pairings MCO 7 pairings etc (Captain). I can’t see FO pairings. This appears to be about 75 percent less open time than pre new contract. So just an educated guess is they may be waiting to see what happens next month and reforecast hiring / upgrades. Anyone want to chime in on my assessment? Just an educated guess on my part.

Sounds like a good guess to me. This company only has 1 thought process: save money.

So if you live IN BASE bid reserve, fly on days off (over guarantee ), sit at home on reserve days. .......

April 1. So maybe it was a April fools joke? Still excited to join Frontier though.

Hmm I'm in the April 1st class too and I got no such email. Did it say the whole class or was it person specific, moving some people to the May class?
