Does anyone know the August 29 class has started OE yet? I know there is about a 2 week wait for CA.

If you're asking about the CA class, then yes. One guy told me he didn't wait long to start OE, but he had between 6 and 9 days off after every two events. Talk about a waste of time

Or getting paid to do nothing. Raw deal.

Anybody know if its common to get called for an earlier class date? Are lots of guys dropping out and opening up slots?

No one wants to be sitting around in the middle of training delaying it even longer. If you're one of the lucky ones that was stuck in limbo at home with the covid cancelations, that's completely different. Not apples to apples

Some people don't mind free paid time off. I've learned to enjoy it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jan 8 is the last day of A320s. After that date, just 10 A321NEOs remain. So how does bidding work for Airbus in January? A bulk of flying is in the first 8 days. Then what? I can't imagine 10 planes needing as many pilots as we have qualified on the A320 fleet right now?

BTDT on another fleet.

There will be a lot of reserve lines. If they're nice they'll let everybody bid long call.
