I'm not sure if you have better info, but I was recently in MCO and they showed us the slide of projected class sizes for the rest of the year. The 6/18 class is projected for 34 pilots (30 A320, 4 E190). 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.

Pretty much. Since it is a large class the A320 guys will be split in half. Some will go straight into CBTs and the others will have 2weeks off to study at home before they go to CBTs. This is to reduce the instructor/sim overload.

If you have 2 wks off, do you still keep your hotel room or do they make you check out?

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.
