Could well be. My information is from a very reliable source, but is about a month old.

Well, about an hour ago my old roommate said he was going to be in the Jan 8 class (he's a Brasilia transition).

The ulcers in my stomach continue to grow.

I have no idea. If I were you, I would call your SkyWest HR contact and explain your situation. They will most likely tell you exactly what they know.

If they keep you in limbo, then I'd move on to the 421/King Air deal if it were me. No sense is waiting around if the music has stopped, trust me.

New hire is 12/31 with 6 days of Indoc, which would would get them to systems on 1/8?

That makes sense. The Dec 31st and Jan 28th classes I mentioned are new hire CRJ.

Probably too many. I flew 50 hours in 6 months on reserve over the summer.

I was just informed all EMB classes have been canceled until further notice.

If they're all cancelled, what does that leave? No hiring at all, wait list party time, or just CRJ transition and new hire classes to be assigned? Woes to those new hires, right?
