3 classes. 2nd, 9th and 30th.

Don't know cause it hasn't been awarded yet. Award for October comes out on Tuesday.

The classes are fairly close to 50/50 former AT Captain and FO. So if you are in the bottom third seniority at SWA, figure half the group is senior to you, the other half is junior. As an approximate. If they run 72 a month starting in OCT, that's 1080 trained by 1 JAN 2015. That would actually get most pilots over, by the deadline. I think most (accept AT CA's and junior SWA FO's) folks are tired of these baby steps with the transition and would like to see some bold progress.

November is only one class of 24.

September class will have 10/2010 new hire date.

With the amount of premium pay AirTran coughed up to cover B717 flying this summer, I don't think they could have let many more B717 crews cross until summer was over.

I talked to one of the chiefs today who had a preliminary what if award. Supposedly out of 393 ATL B717 CAs, only 21 volunteered to go in Oct which would result in 8 being junior manned across the partition (if more don't put a bid to go in by tomorrow).
