Good info, I heard it was cut way back due to a bottleneck in training. Isn't the class May 1st?

That is correct. I made a mistake. Their new hire dinner is 5/9. Class starts 5/1.

Is the smaller classes due to Training center constraints or from only 30 leaving early in April? At this pace, 300 hired this year will be a pipe dream. Unless they train through peak. So much for the Van driver rumors of 100 going this month. But we all knew that wasn't going to happen.

Hopefully the class sizes increase soon.

Probably both.

I have heard the company was pleasantly surprised with the relatively few April retirements. Many more than the typical trickle of retirements BUT much smaller numbers than the predictions we all heard.

"They've already ordered 90 cakes and many guys/gals who're planning on bailing haven't even notified the company yet."

Things are definitely improving but few people are leaving early. Don't blame them at all, it's a part-time job that pays very well.

I've heard that there will be quite a few leaving in this last week since they can receive a pension check in the 1st, we will see.
