Heard a rumor, on the line, that summer classes were cancelled. Jim, are you still on for July?

If you’re starting in July, when did you interview? I’m trying to get an idea of how long the time between the interview and day 1 of class is currently

Thanks

How many checkride failures would keep you from getting a job here?

Just a FYI, new pilot only crashpad in MSP. A 5000 sqft., 7 bdrm, 4 baths, executive home with all the amenities, just 15 minutes from MSP. Great while in training or if a commuter. PM me or checkout https://blockedinncrashpads.com (MSP).

Yep, the rumors are true. My July indoc has been pushed to September, and my CJO amended...since I'll soon be apart of the check-a-month club, it's ok for me, but hope the others hearing about it are able to float for 2 months.
Reason given was high retention, so they're slowing down the training pipeline. As I'm a glass half full type, I'll take this as a good sign.
Thanks to phrogpi for the heads up, it gave me an opportunity to think through a contingency plan prior to the call, and turn my tail to the shockwave!

And to answer other questions regarding timeline (which are now OBE?), I submitted my app in Dec 18, interviewed Mar 19, asked for a Jul 19 indoc, which per above is now Sep 19. I could have been at indoc in May, but as I'm still in uniform, needed July or later. Now I get the summer off!

Yep, got the call today. I'm in the re-started 5 Aug class. Apparently pilot demand is going up, and my sweet retirement beard is coming down a month early.
