The question is whether they value the cadets or not. Let's say they have 40 per class. Let's say they allocate 10 slots to cadet hires per class. Let's say I'm #50 on the cadet list. That means I'm waiting 5 classes to get my foot in the door. It's impossible to know where I fall on there, but in October they sent me an official offer with a date of march 19th. I don't know how that's going to change post-Feb cancellation. That's what is killing me. Maybe over the top, but all I can think about is receiving a phone call or email in April that the program is dissolving and I'm being released from the program and CJO. |

Dude... take a breath & relax. The attrition is 30-40 a month and everyone I know here minus a few people have apps out / interviews / waiting on class dates. Attrition will go up, not down. You have an offer for March so that's likely where you'll be. The company dissolving the cadet program will not happen, they can lock you in for longer since you guys generally have little to no turbine time.

The fact that experienced pilots (with better resumes most likely) are cutting in front of the cadets is a good thing. Meanwhile i recommend reading up on 121 ops, so you come here prepared. Your day will come, chill out.
Entitled? Don't mean to come across that way. I'm not asking to be placed #1, I'm just hoping to know our fate sometime soon. Any clarity would be nice. If you have readings to recommend, I'd love to hear about it. So far, I've been poking through The Turbine Pilot's Manual and Flying the Line. |

Untill then, non Cadets will be mopped up and given class dates while they meter a few of you Cadets into each class. They know you don't have the experience to go anywhere else so you will be in a holding pin for insurance. |

Last call 800+ and expected to be the majority of the hires going forward.
Is it in bad taste for ALPA to make ads and ask the cadets to not come here? I’m not trying to be mean or harsh, but it looks like what they’re doing (not on purpose of course) is delaying and hindering our chance to get a industry standard contract sometime soon. |

Your only value to F9 is leverage for management to avoid signing an industry standard CBA. Once that CBA is signed, the Cadet program will be disolved.
