Don't fret.
DL wants 9E to have a signed contract with their pilot group (which has already conducted a strike vote).
PNCL short-staffs as much as possible and their class dates have always been last minute--too little-too late. Hang in there and keep a bag packed. They'll call you at 4pm on a Friday for a Monday start.

Welcome to 9E if you end up getting a class date, and keep your head up...there is a lot of negativity in the industry and in the company right now, but if we can survive the merger/slump and get a contract things will be OK around here...of course that's a huge if. In addition, if the contract has any decent work rule adjustments, we might have a larger need for crews and lose a few way senior guys waiting for their bonus check...so you might get a little movement and a class date this year...maybe.

yeah it should be. last time they did this it was a disaster. luckily i got in at the beginning of the new hiring spree back at the end of 05 and in a little over 2.5 years i have nearly 700 pilots below me. so just hang in there.
