I interviewed in early May and my class date was suppose to be July 5th. However it is now Sept or Oct due to attrition.

Wow, that sucks. 5 or 6 months is absurd. Perhaps they're waiting to make the classes bigger....

Look at the bright side. Now you have that much more time to find a better job.

What is this "attrition" you are talking about? Are a lot of people declining the offer for a class date and going elsewhere?

some yeah,
some are not even showing up for class after accepting
some have left mid training

attrition, though, is the loss of existing employees, like people fleeing a sinking ship.
the reason they're putting off classes till aug/sep, is because their forcing all the guys that were going to take early retirements to stay until august instead of letting them go earlier as was originally implied in the agreements...

there was a guy that quit after two days on the line, both of those being 13+hr days and i heard that there was some commentary to the company about the treatment and the operation as part of the immediate resigning, or so the grapevine says
