They are available, the company won't pay for them though.

Approximately 14 bucks at the uniform store or domicile... Work great.

What classes would these be for and how many 737 does that leave?

They can offer anyone of those slots tomorrow in the MAR 8TH class.

If you read between the lines of what Crew Planning put out it sounds like they want to have the airbus staffed by APR so I would expect all 320 slots until fall to be given out this month. Only SFO was left unfilled with 9 slots.

The company is still behind on 757/767 training with the final close out of the 76T fleet. I wouldn't expect more than 1-2 per class until late APR or MAY. SFO/EWR were the only unfilled, only 34 total.

There appears to be more than enough 737 slots to get us to JUL when the classes are supposed to stop. I wouldn't be surprised to see all 737 class drops. LAX/SFO/EWR were the only unfilled.

Word on the street is all guppy's (ies?) split between EWR, LAX, and SFO.
God save the ball!

Our 8 March class drop was almost identical to 1 March class. ...except they expedited those guys into the 16-05 vacancy bid that closed 3 March which allowed many to bid back east....very cool move IMHO. We were all 737s, like 1 Mar dropped, and it was 4 EWR, 7 SFO, 4 LAX....I nabbed the final EWR at #7/15 then all the LAX went followed by youngest 5 to SFO including our 26 yr old Ball (imagine what his 401k could look like in 2055?)
Next week's class will have a healthy dose of 756 with rest 737s....very few 320 forecast until Sept. Finally, we were briefed full classes Apr & May, only 2 classes in June and then no new hire classes until 6 Sept....although I'm told company had same goal last year to ratchet down for Summer line flying but added a few July & August starts. Week 1 was an absolute class act all around including 2 awesome facilitators....many smiling faces in our 8 March crew here. Cheers!
