Anyone know what the open spots are for the November class or is that not available until class starts?

Also, just trying to formulate my bid, but, what's the average time to line on both types in JFK/BOS? Thanks in advance

The last 3 classes were 50/50 for 320/190. As far as reserve- Im praying for less than a year. Im 1 from the bottom in jfk(320) so im thrilled to welcome you guys on board

A buddy of mine started Reserve in JFK (320) in May and had a line in Oct. I started in Aug so I'm hoping it won't be too long.

Does anybody want to make a W.A.G. at when we will be in class, assuming you make it through phase 2, of course? I don't know how many are swimming in the pool.

Word is that many of the Oct interview group will probably be in the Dec 4 class, which will be a sizeable class. Others will be in Jan. Seniority is everything in this business, and those who interview earlier in the day will get an earlier class date.

With the way people are quitting it shouldn't be a problem.

It's not as high as the internet kings say and not as low as management wants it to be. There is a bubble now with the Delta boys going back and there will be more. As always the answer is in the middle. In fact I just quit

Reserve...

Oct 31 class: 5 bus (3 BOS, 2 JFK), 5 JFK 190s.

I started IOE this month as #2 from the bottom in my type/base. By Jan, I'll be about #15 from the floor (not including Nov/Dec classes). In a year or two...
