It sounded from their email to those who had class dates this fall that it would be at the start of the year they will start INDOC back up again. But take that with a grain of salt. The company is purposely vague in their statements and whatever they say can change at any time.

It is, but why is everyone doing everything they can to make sure that check is as small as possible, and then ***** and complain when it's a small check?

To reiterate, I don't believe that's a valid excuse for pilots to be apathetic towards the spirit of the process.

You ever work at any other for profit place besides an airline? HVAC systems raise or lower temp at business close in offices, people shut down computers and other equipment, copiers have deep sleep modes, and lights are turned off. All these things are insignificant per device (and were already built to be as efficient as possible) and add up greatly.
The ubsurdity of "ima start the APU as soon as we land so I can flip the gens over before I forget" (and then hit the same switches while parking at the gate) is mind blowing. I've been bitter from jobs, but throwing the companies money down the toilet and then whining about Delta's huge profit sharing checks is probably the dumbest of dumb I've seen here. You can be bitter and waste company money, or you can be mad the check is small, but if you're the one making it smaller, maybe it's time to look in the mirror.

this could all be a part of it. But I think it has more to do with we just have more pilots right now.
the opening of PHX 73 and ORD 320, puts some impact on the training pipeline.
also the delivery delays hurt. I mean look at the amount of float proffer vacays they are giving for the 78 crews.
also, we have a ton of planes going in for retrofit this fall. 777-300 getting new interiors. While the first one is going in August the rest will follow. The 319’s are getting an extra row of business class. The Alaska 321’s are all going in to be retrofitted to match the rest of the fleet.
so the fall winter schedule will be smaller. Which would be these classes. Classes starting in Jan would be to fill the summer 25 schedule.
but I know nothing. Just trying to look at it from a 30k foot view.
