Great news for those of us in the pool! I just hope they have room for me after all the returnees have picked up their slots. When I got my CJO I was told the middle of 2018 for training. Then I heard it was December, then possibly August. So I won't hold my breath but it's still moving in the right direction.
Good luck Bizzle! Hope you make it.

You couldn’t be any less happy? Bummer. It does seem like that from a few of your posts.
Or is this like when guys say, “I could care less...” about something when they really mean that they COULDN’T care less?
Sorry for the digression: I hear the screams of a thousand English teachers in my head when I read stuff like that. Carry on.

Buddy of mine just finished His IoE at the big D. I did hear rumors of throttling back soon. However the numbers I read on an earlier post i don't believe are correct. His class alone was bigger than the ones you described . Southwest as well, . Man they have been hiring like ganbusters. I just hope our turn comes sometime before I retire .
And yes loosing 14 ,747 was huge I agree , and all the talk about smizek and how much he screwed this place , come on management , time to move on from that old ass quote.

For 1Q2018, United's ASMs grew by 3.6% (3.3% mainline) vs Delta's 2.7%

For 2017, United's ASMs grew by 3.5% (4.4% mainline) vs Delta's 1.0% (1.4% mainline).

So United IS growing faster than Delta. Many here have complained about United underperforming Delta; perhaps leaning out the operation a bit, as it appears to be what's happening, will result in better margins for United. Or perhaps Delta has a lot more pilot retirements than United - I haven't checked those numbers.
Edit: Southwest's 2017 ASMs grew by 3.6%. 1Q2018 numbers will be released on 26 April. http://www.southwestairlinesinvestor...2018-113046083

First of all, welcome (or welcome back) to those in the upcoming class!
Trying to figure out the impact of this new class announcement given recent messages from Manpower Planning.
From what I'm reading in comments above, it sounds like a new class in June will drive a likely vacancy bid soon that will hypothetically help a 2-year 737 FO that's in SFO get to LAX... right?
Any clarity on when to expect this?

New hire class drops are what remain after vacancy bids. Unfortunately, they don't drive anything.
That said, the same update suggested the possibility of a upcoming series of vacancy bids. That could be most helpful for anybody wishing to move bases.
Just remember the long-term planning committee meets three times a day.
