For those wondering, recent update said there will be classes through the end of the year but slowing down a bit in frequency as the fall goes on. Though class size could increase so don't despair.

Class sizes are predicted to go up to 30, then to over 40. The last class of the year could have up to 60.

Brave New World, where LAX 7ER and SEA 7ER are junior bases in the drop!

The technology in the planes just keeps getting older and older.

Im curious, I am planning to be in the December class, which I assume there is only one for that month. My question is, with the Cseries starting next spring, when would they start training for it? Also do they do a lot of training for the 7ER category over the winter months? My SSN is low so I don't think I'll have much choice in where I go. Hoping for ATL MD88 or 717 for the faster movement, but would love to get to DTW in the future. If I got DTW 717 that would be great too.

The C-Series is supposed to be on the next AE (bid) which should be around September or October. So there could be a chance it will be offered to new hires though I'd suspect they'll get enough of the initial slots in the AE. But who knows, it will partially depend on ultimately where they decide to put it. Recent new hires on seat lock will also be able to bid it so that might take some potential early new hire class slots.

Is the wait that backlogged now that you'd have a December class or is it an availability thing? Congrats on coming aboard!

I'm coming from Endeavor, via the SSP interview. I received the CJO last August 8th during the big IT meltdown. They just don't want to drain the pilots from here. So we are put in a separate pool and metered to Delta. Im definitely seeing the light a t the end of the tunnel getting brighter. Excited to join the big leagues!
