It sounds like the OP is waiting on a class date at a regional, and using the SWA CJO cancelation as an example that the regionals are next in canceling outstanding CJOs.

LOL I wish I had a class date at Southwest haha. Sorry if I wasn’t specific enough. I’m waiting on a class date at one of the regionals. I’m just saying if SWA is doing this then this looks like all the other majors and regionals are going to fall in there footsteps with us.

Majors are more concerned about upholding their standards, after some period of time, two things might change.

1) After years, the applicant might not be quite the same person, especially if he goes non-current, gets a DUI, gets fat, gets bitter, etc, etc

2) When hiring resumes, they might have a better pool to choose from, might prefer to throw back what they already caught and try to get their limit of bigger fish.

Minus the DUI, I managed to pull off the above in 6 weeks!

Before the CJOs go, the cadet programs will get *******canned.... There is a cost. If regionals are thinking they’ll pull back hard on hiring they simply won’t need cadets and/or the programs.

It’s what I’m watching to get a bead on the future. Today they still exist.

I doubt it will be tough to find applicants after this is all over
