No way! Much sooner I pray! You're going early summer! If it's fall, as you hopefully jest, then there will be a good number of us that will go past 1 year in the pool and expire. That would be horrible!

FWIW, based the info that has been PMed to me...28 Oct interview will likely be late July/August at an "optimistic point of view".
Who knows for sure what is going to happen but unless the numbers start going up on weekly newhires it is going to be beyond summer.
Anyone heard if the 737 CA upgrades will be completed in May?
If so, June could start seeing some newhires return to the 737 pipeline and maybe the classes will start to have more newhires per week.

It is my sincere hope (belief, actually) that the one-year rule that everyone seems to quote before poolies "expire" is a rule that applies if the poolie chooses to defer for whatever reason. In this current situation, I truly believe that united will honor the offers of employment that it has made to all of us. After all, the delay is not our doing...

I hesitate to ask in a forum but any 'inside' info on number of
classes over the Summer, after the May classes if any, and their approx. size?

I have not heard any news, just the statement from CV in the March poolie update that he was told to expect training though the summer.

Poolies from 2008 (which was the last time United interviewed prior to starting again last year) were given a year. When interviews started last year, about 50 who had expired in the pool in '08 were given an opportunity to interview AGAIN in Jan-Feb of '13, before the off-the-street interviews began in ~April.
I sincerely hope those of you currently swimming are aggressively pursuing DAL, AMR, USAir, Alaska, etc. This is about putting multiple eggs in your baskets and not simply sitting on one in hopes it's going to hatch. Good luck and I sincerely wish the best for each of you.
