The next class was just over 20 (with a similar split between bus/190) and then it dropped off to 10-14 pilots per class for the remainder of the year. There weren't a lot of E190 slots showing in the newhire classes (maybe 20-30 E190 slots total for the remainder of the year).
To add to that, the most recent class on 5/27 was supposed to be 10 A320 and 10 E190, but it wound up being all A320 slots in JFK/BOS.

I believe the people in our class that did it checked out and were booked travel home. Don't quote me on that, I do remember there was some question about all that. If you have a two or three day break they'll keep your room, and you're in cass from day three I think.

I haven't heard. On the last day of indoc, there is a leadership briefing. If there's anything of interest I'll post it when I get home. Very impressed so far. Very different attitude here. In a good way.
