New bid opens today and the unfilled spots will be for the next new hire class. I have no hard knowledge but I would expect classes to start in JAN after the holidays. If we are lucky they will run 1 big class a month in NOV and DEC.

The reality is we are in the slow season right now and we don't need the new hires until next summer. We barely made it through this summer so hiring is absolutely necessary, just be patient.

Your FIRST lesson as an airline pilot, when a company feels they can't possibly make it through summer without you, you'll be in class.

When they think they can fill the schedule with one less pilot, they'll feel free to cast you aside.

Do not misplace loyalty in this business.

For new hires to get a class, there have to be unfilled vacancies. There are no 737, bus or meaningful 756 vacancies. The 756 in DEN will probably be filled with current pilots.

Once the awards are done, any unfilled vacancies will be allocated to new hires. Since there are no slots meant for new hires, no classes. JAN-FEB is the current guess for classes. Even then, the classes can be changed on a moments notice. Earlier or later. No guarantees.

But in summary, since there are no unfilled vacancies to be anticipated, no classes any time soon.
