We seem to have about 15 slots, or so, for new hires but as if the moment of this writing there doesn't seem to be any movement to fill them..yet. Only the Captain slots are being filled at this time. It all depends on need so keep your eyes out for new flying announcements, that will be a big I dictator usually. Winter/holiday time is generally the busiest time of year and this time last year they were slowing down the training dept. to put "all hands on deck". Around Christmas is when calls went out for January new hire classes.

Last year there was a 767 class which began in December and I thought a 747 class as well, but not sure about that one.

That would be awesome if it happened again this year! Anybody know how far in advance calls go out for a class?

Over half of the -400 Simulator Instructors (18) were sent back to the line for November and December. That's a good indication that there won't be a last minute new-hire class.

But they aren't used for the first three weeks of class, so they could still run a class starting in December with sims in January.

A Dec. 17, 2012 76 class, but the 74 class wasn't until Jan. 7 2013. And, the Jan 7 class also had quite a dew 76 new hires.

Funny, I was just looking back through the thread to get the info. The 76 class was last minute and unexpected until they got the extra 76 flying. So unless new flying shows up, I'd say classes will start in 2014.

And typically 3 week notice according to previous posts.

Tyvm, I looked but couldn't find it or recall where I read it. Yes I have read the entire thread, but it's been a while. I appreciate everyone's responses.

Just depends upon the need. I had five days from first call to interview, then six days to class and checkride three weeks later!

Last year's December 767 class was about 14-18 days notice from what I remember.

Cheers

And was a special last min 767 typed or close enough class, it was not a 'pick in order of the highest score from the pool' class. The Jan 7th class was the normal 2 week notice pool call for both types.
