Anyone else in 1/27 CTP 2/6 CRJ class hear anything about canceling class date? I didn’t get an email saying they’re canceling our class but now I’m a little hesitant to give my current work notice that I’m quitting.

A recession in 2023 is hardly a rumor. It's more probably more accurate to describe it as a widely held expectation (link).

What remains to be seen is how long, how deep, and what the eventual recovery looks like. Historically, regional airlines have tended to do better in recessions but whether this holds true again in 2023 is anyone's guess.

Ask your employer if you can rescind your resignation and stay a few more months, or see if you can get a class date with Air Wisconsin, Commutair, or GoJet sooner. Some pilots have been able to skip the regionals and go directly to the LCCs.

Management view pilots as numbers and look at the big picture to balance their staffing needs. The mandatory upgrade policy proves SkyWest has been struggling to maintain enough captains, and it’s possible that speeded up the exit of some pilots or they weren’t able to get them through training fast enough. Also consider that management would rather slow down hiring before a recession than lay them off after it starts. Just remember it isn’t personal.

If no word from OO by Friday put your notice in if you want to be eligible for rehire with your current company. If you don’t care about being rehired then quit any time BEFORE CTP starts. The environment is rapidly changing.

if you go back a few pages you'll see where someone who was in classes last week for CRJ said his group went directly from INDOC to training and those on the ERJ side were told to expect late-march early-april and released. maybe on the CRJ side things are okay.

What are the odds it’s just this one set of class dates that was pushed? To push a group of captains through? More likely they are dragging their feet notifying the next classes I’m guessing
