I second this. I think grnrgrass was saying they got through 5 of the 14 CJOs from April 16.

I was called today and was told the same thing... 30 slots on July 20, half Endeavor and half mil defers and April 16 CJOs. I was also told I was the last slot for July 20. I am approximately number 4 or 5 in SSN order from April 16 CJOs. He said to expect similar make sups for the near future (mostly flows, smaller classes), but that none of it is set in stone.

Additionally, when you get the call they want to know if you have any significant life events in the 90 days following the start of training. I do, and will be deferring my slot for a few months. If anyone has any questions about that PM me and I'll be glad to share my experience.

Default Day 5

Fine. I'll chime in with 4fans. Yes, after just 5 days, don't give up hope. I've worked with MANY organizations in my day. (20 yr retired AF). Without a doubt, Delta is the real deal. Hands down, it's an incredible place to work. They truly care. If you're waffling one iota, don't. Choose Delta.

With that being said, for those of you in the pool, if you get the call from another company while you are waiting, avoid the urge to jump. This company has a fantastic culture. In everything I have seen here in five days I have been continuously impressed by the great attitudes of all the instructors, briefers, and new hires. I can't wait to fly the line and be a part of it.
4fans, cool at least we have the full story. I thought you said that everyone was there. I just want to make sure we all have a good picture because it looks like a long delay for those of us behind you. Thanks for the info. Have fun in week two. See you on campus.

Day 5 was chick-fil-a too. It just keeps getting better. The plug on our class is #12,891.

Hang on out there...13,000 has a nice ring to it!

Burn your days while you can now (mil guys).

So the next calls will go out around mid July for the early August class? Hopefully the numbers will go up. We'll see. Congrats to those that got called.

Yeah we thought everyone was there but then we started noticing some missing faces. Since they are already calling 16 April folks they must have been called, just don't know what their status is.

Those of you with a low social, don't assume you won't have a say, everyone in our class had a choice until the last 4, and they got 7er's! Life is good.

+1. I'm #48/60 in the class. Firmly in the back row, live on the west coast, and got my 2d choice of base.

And it's like sweet tea down here, there's so much sugar in the kool aid that it you can't help but get high off it.

There is a great lodging option for training within 10 minutes of the training center. Nice place and cheap compared to the other options. Message me for more info and pics.
