This company is ridiculous.. I talked to a flight manager and they did in fact send out 130 letters for only 54 slots, they did this because they did not think very many would accept.. He said a lot more are accepting then they thought would and was not sure what would happen and said the company would be in contact when it knows what the hell its doing. He implied around 40 have accepted and only 10 have deferred so far (roughly 50 responses of the 130)… Back to the waiting game.

This is all personal opinion but I think the guys on the bottom of the list are the ones that got hired in the 250-750hrs and may not have been able to find anything else and would be the ones coming back for sure. Just my 2 cents...

He did not say top bottom or middle so I'd say in general. 40 yes and 10 no is an 80% accept ratio, 80% of 130 pilots is a lot more than 54

I was commenting on the fact that with this company we will never know anything until they announce it.
At this point anything said by anyone is speculation and rumor. I've heard drastically different acceptance numbers from two different people at this point.
The best thing for everyone to do right now is to just go on living life and not worry about this...I mean come on....remember what happened a year ago? I'm not even worried about it until I get a class date or a "Hey, sorry for getting your hopes up....hope you ain't mad" letter/phone call again.
[dusts shoulders off....I ain't even mad]

Again I'm assuming you talked to him a day or two ago, not last week because that would change the actual number of responses.

this company could screw up a 2 car funeral. i dont know why they cant take 5 extra minutes and spell out a few details instead of keeping everybody in the dark. i liked it last time around when we didnt hear a thing for 2 weeks and then RZ is callin me at 730am on a Saturday morning. im waiting for that phone call again this time. regardless...40 accepting out of 50 isnt 80%...it would be 40 out of 130 which is like ~30%. im also very disappointed in saluki for not coming up with some animated .gif that perfectly captures this situation.
