Was there supposed to be a Sept class? I know that the last couple had been cancelled. I kinda assumed it would be small at best since they offered FO COLAs.

I sure hope thats true. We started this year with 136 planes and we currently sit at 152. We've gained 16 planes but we've net gained zero pilots this year. We stared this year with 15.5 pilots per plane and we're currently down to 14.1 pilots per plane. Our aircraft utilization must be garbage right now.

I would also attribute the reduction in workforce to the day trip model. Besides the awful cancellation rate we seem to be fully staffed still. Perhaps we were actually overstaffed to begin with? Lastly but only a small factor is aircraft in service. The NEO that got hit in the tail in MIA is still down and Peachy the Fox got retired six months early.

Wouldn't that be for the September new hire class of 10? Or am I completely wrong

I believe you would be correct. September class October 13/14 oral. 10 slots

I've heard from more than one person that 40ish is the October class size and there are cadets being sent in for drug testing and background checks, so this likely checks out. Good to hear. With the deferrals and slow-ish attrition I was really wondering if we were about to be in an extended period of slow hiring.
