Anyone have class dates in May? They usually slow down in summer

I'm starting class on May 4. Supposedly there's another class on May 25th as well.

Congrats on getting the invite. Are you by chance a check airman, chief pilot, etc.? Advance degree(s)?

Similar background here...the silence is deafening.

I suspect that this will be the case this year as well especially since interviews are occurring right now which will undoubtedly translate into summer classes.
Enjoy your E period sims for AQP.

Thanks. Not an "FAA Check Airmen" a company instructor though and defiantly not a Chief Pilot. Undergrad only.

As far as I can tell we only need to hire 349 more to reach the 600 mark. That can be accomplished with only 2 classes a month, however the new word is we need to hire 800 total this year now. 3 classes of 25-30 would meet that goal. The more the merrier!!!
