I didn't ask. He mentioned fuel, the economy and 787 delays as the reasons for stopping classes. Hopefully someone else will ask when they get the call. he said they'd be sending out a letter next week with more info.

Did he mention that they probably would not be holding any more classes until after the DAL merger?

thats what happens when I try to post after flying five legs dont know what day or city I am in. I meant to say Tuesday the 25th if March. Sorry for the confusion.

Wanted to make sure you weren't still waiting for a call if you interviewed last month or so, they usually call the Monday or Friday following your interview - good luck! Looks like you might be placed in a pool however if these rumors are correct (which I hope they aren't). I just got denied leave last week due to short staffing!

Hopefully they don't send you a letter telling you to pick through the trash while you wait for your class date

seriously though guys, sorry to everyone that this affected. I wish you the best of luck.

I'm just glad they gave enough notice that I didn't already leave the job I'm at now.

You might be better off....For those of us who did make it, might not have "made" it. We'll know in a year if we still got a job.

I probably am better off. I'll be able to pay off some bills and build some more PIC

I interviewed in March and got the acceptance letter. Currently swimming in the pool, so yes there is one. Ron informed me during the interview that I was in a proposed class date of 6 August...obviously with everything that is going on this is subject to change. The email I was sent said they would be doing all of the background checks etc, but we should be notified 2 months out or so about the upcoming class date. Last I heard there are about 30 swimming. Good luck to all...
