Is there really any point in that?

No.

Oddly enough, it's weird how FA's have found themselves to be head of pilot hiring, or high up in the food chain of pilot hiring.

... not to mention being fully versed on all mergers and any other bad rumors out there.

Want to know what's not going to happen? Ask an FA about the latest rumor.

+1

Unless something substantial changes, expect more classes.

Both the SSC and manpower planning have published updates that state that the max capacity of the training center will be utilized between now and next summer. Apparently the additional classes are only being announced when final numbers become available.
