Just the facts!
Furlough Returnees (FR) have the first rights to new classes over New Hires (NH) up to max class size planned by the company!
((Always!) If class size is planned for 40 and 40 FRs want back in all get it!)
Only restriction is they must notify the company by 30 days prior to the class date.
The difference in start dates starting this year is FR now only require Redoc (like returning from LOAs) vs NHs need full Basic Indoc (BI).

Even I suggested more classes a few days ago.This latest vacancy bid should generate enough unfilled vacancies for at least 160 newhires/furlough returnees. They could end up not having any more summer classes after the early June class, or they could have 3 more 40 person classes in June and July.
Just hang in there; they need to increase pilot staffing.

Frankly, I'll be surprised if we don't have at least one more summer recall/newhire class.

Well, it wasn't exactly rocket surgery. Even I suggested more classes a few days ago.
This vacancy bid is going to leave NB FO understaffed at EWR and SFO; they aren't going to want those positions to remain understaffed for too long.

With these classes (and hopefully more) starting now we get the training cycle going early without pulling anybody off the line for the summer. This should allow the training center to be going at full capacity while the operation still has enough pilots to fly the "higher" flying levels this Fall.
Of course, the fact that it makes so much sense is what makes it so surprising that we would do it!!
