Not to mention the implication that something unexpected must have happened to cause such a reaction. Either way I was just looking for further confirmation or insight.
I can think of lots of mundane reasons to postpone classes but to cancel them without any explanation is disturbing. Perhaps some financing fell through?

On top of that there's about to be 40 more guys hit the line end of the month, plus the class of 18 that started this month. Until they start running upgrades for the new 900s or for the guys going to the EJET program I think it's fair to say we're FAT on FOs, or will be come Feb. 1.

Guys, we're showing in IAD and CLT 15 and 13 available FO reserves respectively for the last two days of the month. There are only around 30 total hard lines in IAD. If 15 unused FO reserves per day per base isn't overstaffed I don't know what is.

Maybe those additional 900's PSA are getting. Some of those were going to be ours.

Being overstaffed is the cost of doing business when you're about to bring on a whole new fleet and you don't want to be caught with your panties down. Did they actually offer "class dates" in Jan and Feb? Anyone? Surely they can forecast being overstaffed - how could it come as a surprise to them? If they did offer dates was it just to get the candidates on the hook, knowing full well they would NOT run them? ...That would be unethical.
That was three weeks ago, haven't heard a peep since...
