Yep! Sept 7 and Sept 21 classes look to be finalized. They havent announced the dates for the classes beyond #19-11, but it generally goes every two weeks. Im willing to bet all 320 slots will be for JFK and the 190 will be a good mix of BOS/JFK (they have been letting people chose whichever base they want in recent classes for the 190) Here is the info I could find about upcoming classes:

Class #18-11
Sept 7
6 E190
7 A320

Class #19-11
Sept 21
6 E190
5 A320

Class #20-11
5 E190

Class #21-11
6 E190

Class #22-11
11 E190

Class #23-11
12 E190

Class #24-11
10 E190

The E190 class scheduling seems to project out further than the 320, so even though there arent any projected 320 slots after class #19-11, they will add them before the classes are finalized. When I was in class a few months ago we were all sweating because it didnt look like any more 320 hiring was projected for the year, but since then there have been roughly 20 slots added, so no worries!

Starting with class #22-11 it looks like they are increasing the size of classes a bit, probably because the applicant pool is close to being drained, and when the app window opens on Sep 1 they will be interviewing and hiring ASAP for those classes.

Only one guy got his choice of 190 base in the class of 5 immediately after ours. Subsequently all classes since have been BOS on the 190. Should remain this way for awhile longer and Airbus guys can expect JFK. Looking forward to guys behind us at JFK on the 190 at some point.

Are these slot allotments subject to change? By the way, how did the training center hold up with Hurricane Irene?? We're about to get slammed here in upstate NY.

The training center was unaffected. Our JFK/BOS ops will be another story

Changes like the wind blows my friend!

I'd say unless something drastic happens in the near future growth and steady hiring is imminent.
