From what I understand they are very particular about this. I mean if you have a major, unexpected life event they will work with you, but you can't just back in and out of class dates willy nilly. They expect your date of availability on your app to be accurate. If you have already accepted a class date and need it moved, certainly reach out to them, but again unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances I wouldn't expect them to let you change classes more than once. So if you have to back out make sure whatever new date you tell them you will be available is firm.

If you already accepted a class date, call them ASAP. But I believe you have a least 1 or 2 bypass before the CJO is removed. You can reach FB DAL Pilot Recruitment page and ask.

The week before Indoc you should get your bid sheet, and I believe you get the results NLT Friday before indoc report.
Indoc starts on a Tuesday, and ends the next Wednesday after your wing ceremony at around 1930. You can leave that night if you want. Hotel is booked Monday-following Thursday.
The break before sims is a minimum of 10 days I think. Some people went in less than two weeks and others went at around four weeks. It just depends on fleet and how busy they are.
training footprint is around 4 five-block days. 20 training events.
Some people had IOE scheduled during training with a break of 48 hours or so after their LOE/44X. Others have been waiting a couple weeks. Again, depends on fleet and how busy they are. 7ER pilots will finish OE, get off training pay, and then wait around 60 days for TOE.
Good luck!
