Not smart thinking.........are you potentially willing to give up hundreds of thousands of dollars of career earnings for this one “event” ? Even worse, willing to be furloughed for this one time event ?
Take the first class possible.........if you need a day or two off for an important event planned or unplanned it can be worked out after you get in the door.

I recommend you share your important life event very early on in training. The UPA covers life events and time off and you should have the time off required.....this assumes it’s a actual life event and not just a drinking weekend with your buddies. Good luck and welcome.

I got the CJO on 11/14.
No specific information about class date hasn't been provided, except to expect an early 2020 class. I am guessing Jan/Feb.
The letter states it is valid for 12 months.
But my reason for the original post was to understand the class date acceptance process. Training takes 7-9 weeks and can have long breaks in between. I have an important event in May. So wanted to check if I could request a class date after May, incase a class date isn't offered by March? I understand that seniority is important, but I would like to plan things better. Therefore wanted to know how CJO and training dates work, when taking the first available date doesn't work out for some reason.

Also, I wouldn’t anticipate any long breaks in training as you stated as a concern. Things have been moving along pretty quickly from what I’ve heard. You might expect a short break before OE but other than that they push you through.
