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?

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 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...
