Does anyone know if they are starting to fill the August class date or if any April interviews have gotten a call?

Thanks

When I was at recurrent they said the 6/18 class would be 34 total, 30 A320 and only 4 E190. Might be tough to get an E190 slot.

Did they happen to say what bases will be offered?
I am in the June 18th class.

I'd imagine the A320s will be 60/40 in favor of JFK with the remainder being BOS. The few 190 slots would be a toss up between BOS/JFK.

Class that's ongoing had a pick of JFK or BOS. FWIW I think that's a safe bet for the next one.

December vacancy award is out today, 144 FO positions remain open.
91 JFK 320
25 BOS 320
3 LGB 320
9 JFK 190
6 BOS 190

With all the coming deliveries of 321s and 320s most classes will probably be heavy toward airbus with a few on the embraer to cover as people bid over.

^^^^This

Down in MCO I saw a list of projected classes for the rest of the year and of the 100 or so newhires there were only 20-30 slots for E190s. All the future growth is Airbus, so the 190 will now start to stagnate. Yes, people will still be transferring off the airframe, but the movement won't be as rapid as before.

Calls went out a few weeks ago for the one July class. Is that class full already?

Does anyone know how many spots are slated for the July and August classes?

I can't remember the exact numbers but July was around 20-22 total slots and August was smaller, around 14 slots. Large majority of the slots were for A320.

The class sizes for the rest of the year started to decrease to 10-14 per class.

It was stated on the previous page that the July class is 34. We were told that in indoc 2 weeks ago. No plans to scale back hiring are anywhere in sight, according to the company. Most will go to the A320, limited hiring into the E190. Based on the numbers it looked to me like 190 hiring is based on current JB'ers transferring out of it into the Bus. For example, our class (5/18) was all A320. If I remember correctly, there are going to be 4 190 slots for the July class, and the rest to the Bus. Except for my opinion on the whys of limited 190 hiring, all else was stated directly by the CP. YMMV.
