While we're happy the new model is working so well and has been well received by our crews, it has in turn reduced the size of our new hire classes. Unfortunately, at this time, you have been removed from the February class and placed in our pool.“

Yeah that’s not true 😂 I can’t tell you the amount of people I’ve talked to that said if this sticks they are headed out the door with the first call from someone else.

This is kind of upsetting. Not good at all. I guess this means they've determined that with the new business model less crews per airplane are needed? So, attrition no longer matters for awhile? I guess upgrades will slow down even more.

Transitioning will be painful but once in place will be better IMO when there are bases in 15-20 different cities (Baltimore, Cleveland, Raleigh, Charlotte, Cincy, Chicago, San Juan and maybe even San Fran, Fort Myers or Detroit).

That is not encouraging at all. I have a signed class date for March, and am headed to Denver for compliance in mid-Jan. Wondering if those who got the email for the Feb class date were in similar boats or not. I signed on in June.. Not super enthused here.

Anybody have an update for the class size that started the 18th? With only 16 spots on the bid sheet I would be surprised if it was more than 20.
While it’s very early yet we are starting to see some trends. F9, NK, UPS, FDX slowing or no hiring. I’m sure there are others.
