First I've heard of this. If it does, that mean that the last window produced less than adequate numbers to fill classes.

ANNOUNCING EWR-SDQ!: Today, we announced plans to offer daily service between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Santo Domingo’s Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) beginning May 3, 2018

Really? Of all the places we should be flying to, we add another flight to the DR?

I heard that the last window closed before even HR was aware it would. Thus, there was never an end date for the window and numerous candidates were just out of luck that were still working on their app/getting LORs etc... Not sure how all that happens without HR knowing/controlling when the window is opened and closed...

It will probably be a red eye turn with a 320 that would otherwise spend the night on a a gate in EWR. Third shift flying on a plane that would be idle is essentially free money after the direct costs are covered..

I didn't hear that either. That story seems really odd.

Agreed. But it comes from a buddy that knows some of our HR folks.
