Nope. Cancelled until Nov/Dec at earliest. Flight attendant classes also cancelled until Fall/Winter.

DO NOT COME HERE. This management team is a bunch of LIARS. Not sure what is happening with our new airplanes, because they sure as hell aren't coming here. We are not going to be staffed for them.

Isn't this exactly the same thing that happened last year?

Not that I don't believe you, I'm wondering where you heard this? I haven't seen anything about it yet.

Wow. If that's true, it really sucks. Explains the lack of a VSA this month.

Either we've been lied to, or something is going on behind the scenes regarding the IPO and the future ownership of F9.

For the most part, yes. In May they said no new hire classes in June and July and no upgrades until December. Then they ended up running a class of upgrades in the fall (September or October). I don't remember them not running FA classes though.

Yes same thing. Then they had a last minute class end of summer.

We're slated to be at around 70 acft by the end of the year.
At 8-8.5 crews per acft that's around 1200 pilots.

How many crews on the property today?

Including Aprils class, it will be around 1150.

I think there still should be at least one more VSA imminent in order for those April guys to have something to bid for.

I believe this happens at almost all airlines during the summer months. You've got to have all hands on deck for the summer schedule....especially when we're as short staffed as we're going to be.

No need to chicken little errybody!

I'd normally agree with you, except they had a huge hiring event for FAs last week in Denver for an April 24 class. That April class has now been canceled. They also held an FA hiring event in CVG yesterday in which they told the people they hired they could be in a hiring pool for up to a year. That is not a normal summer slow-down.
