Seems like things have slowed down considerably in the past week. I was receiving correspondence from one POC or another almost every day from my TOL to finishing up my CIL requirements, but now haven’t heard anything in over a week. I wonder if class dates are full through the summer now...
If you look at the academy course list, enroute courses are basically every week. There haven't been that many May class dates that have been given out, and for sure no June. So don't think that classes are full
Seems like medical is the thing most people are still waiting on... Hopefully this means we’ll get a wave of start dates soon. Also how often does the catalogue get updated with new classes? Seems like those few June dates might be assigned soon and then what?

Good point, although, our sample size is a bit limited to know for sure. Out of everyone in the running, only a small percentage are on the forums, and only a few of those people actually post their class dates. It seems they typically don’t schedule anyone for a class that’s a long ways off, so it everything for the next 6-8 weeks is filled they might take a break for awhile. Who really knows though, I’m sure there have been plenty of ulcers to go around from people trying to make sense of the hiring process lol.
This is all true. I never understood why they don't seem to give out class dates a little further away, but they may be doing that but FOL holders just aren't posting them on here.
I'm sure everyone's case is different but HR called me and told me I had to pick from two classes both within one week of each other. It was either 2.5 weeks out or 3.5
I requested a deferral which was also denied. I think they're trying to maximize each class instead of having spots randomly throughout the course list.

So you have ALL your clearances but no start date yet?

Lol Now I want to reach back out to my HR POC but I’m sure there’s gotta be a reason she hasn’t called... right??
Who’s your HR POC?
Haven’t there been people who reached out and 5 min later had a start date cause their POC was like oh yeahhhhh I was JUST about to call you.... ?

I’ve had all my clearances done for almost 3 weeks now and still no class date. My HR poc said she hadn’t received any which I call bull on because I called and emailed both medical and security and they sent me and email confirming the exact date and time they emailed my clearance to the HR poc. So I guess I’m just sitting around waiting.
