I haven't seen anything official but they usually slow down a bit in the summer for the busy schedule. They only have classes posted/scheduled through the beginning of May but that is normal and should be updated before too long.

Good morning. I was recently extended the CJO (yeay!!!) and told to expect a late May/early June class. I understand that domiciles & equipment may/will change by the time I start, but let's assume for a moment that EWR is in my future:
If possible, I'd love to hear pros and cons about the A320 vs. B737.
I'm trying to gather as much info as I can, so that I can make a somewhat educated decision the first day of class. Thank you for your help!

Welcome aboard! GStB!
Bid for the airplane you want first, base second. Once you get in the airplane you can bid to other bases as you have the seniority to hold them.
Once you get the 737 or 320 you're locked out of bidding the other for two years (though you can always bid up to larger airplanes at any time). If you take the 756 initially, it isn't unusual to have 756 slots in new-hire classes, you are locked out of the 737 and 320 for two years.
I agree with what has been posted above. The 737 is your better shot at better schedules and faster seniority progression. I took 737 EWR two years ago and did only two months of reserve. Now I'm up to 55% in that seat.
