There was some truth to "you could have what you want before training ended." Vacancy bids where coming out once a month earlier this year. There hasn't been one in a while that's why people are not saying that any more. Rumor is one is coming.

I'm not sure of the accuracy of all this but it sounds pretty reasonable.

I know this is a wide range question but what is junior in a class, like 21 and senior 45 or something? What's the average class sizes in the upcoming months?

Around 350$ per month I think. Or you can get a lease and have a studio for your own like for 500 to 700 a month.

Every class is different, there's no answer for this question. In my class (Nov 2010) the senior guy was 32 and the junior guy was 22.
