There's no reason to panic, but applicants and folks on the bottom of the list should have realistic expectations and alternative strategies if the music is paused for a bit.
I agree. Don’t panic but pay attention. At one point yesterday the top three threads were Max delays, China flights and age 67. I thought well there’s a perfect storm.

I do think the next few months will be like this, then it will go back to the goal of ~6 weeks between CJO and start date. Last Friday, United did a hiring brief with AeroCrewSolutions V-Fare and United said they are still planning on hiring more in 2020 than they did in 2019, so the back half of the year will be busy.
Thanks for the info! That’s a while! I hope you get a class date soon.

How about when your FO wife wants an upgrade to a CA car and a CA house?

I know it’s the slow season but the loads seem a lot less than normal especially in and out of SFO. It has raised my eyebrows for sure.

I would guess that is due to the China drawdown. Isn’t SFO the primary hub for that?

South America has been running pretty full the last two weeks.

That’ll happen you cancel 2 HKG, 2 PVG, PEK and 4 times weekly CTU.
