Same here. 40 or better. What's the consensus? A normal class this month or a big one in April like they did last year (50). Any rumors out there?

I hope they are on point. I'm waiting for Brat to put some info in the mix.
Friar Tuck said
Mar 5, 2014
40 or better would be phenomenal. Btw, did they do a March class last year?
JustWonderin said
Mar 5, 2014
No they did January, skipped February and March, then did 50 in April. And Jooky and 18 and 1's numbers are usually on point

What determines to do a class this month or next i never understood that...like to have a choice to do say 30 this month and 20 next, or skip this month and do 50 next??? Its 50 in 2 months either way so what is the reason to not do it and do a big one, or just do it now??

I don't know if you're new here, but the numbers change every day, Sometimes multiple times a day. We are both getting them from Dept records, not guessing.

Thank you for the info Jooky. Do you have any ideas if they will do a class for end of month.. I'm checking in literally on the hour to see if anyone have any info.
JustWonderin said
Mar 5, 2014
Same here tuck. I'm right on the cusp. Need a class of about 35 or better
Jooky said
Mar 5, 2014
Unfortunately, I don't have any sources for information. I can only contribute whatever is in the database. I guess it's too early to know any solid info at this time. Guess we have to keep waiting for Brat!

-27 and 34
JustWonderin said
Mar 11, 2014
Hearing 32 LTs for the end of this month. Can anyone confirm? Jooky can we have an updated breakdown by the month please
18and1 said
Mar 12, 2014
-27 and 35
JustWonderin said
Mar 12, 2014
Thanks 18 and 1. I was just trying to figure out if the supposed 32 that they are promoting at the end of the month is true. I would have thought that there would be more than 32 (considering we will be at -40 by April 1st) but the person who informed me has been right in the past
Jooky said
Mar 12, 2014
Not much changed, but here it is:
Mar- 2 Apr- 15 (12 are going out on April 1) May- 7 Jun- 3 Jul- 3 Oct- 1 Nov- 1 Dec- 1
2015-1 (Another loser) 2016- 1 (Yes, 2016)
Not really sure why they would only promote 32. 41 would make more sense considering the above numbers.

So we will be at -7 on april 2nd is that correct?
JustWonderin said
Mar 19, 2014
2 more are still supposed to go out in march. So after the 32 they promote this month, it would be -9 by April 2

Brokenstick said

Are we still looking at a -9 early on in April? Curious why there isn't bigger number for 28th promotion.
18and1 said
Mar 28, 2014
+6 and 37

It's mind numbingly painful how slow this list is moving for me
big guy said
Mar 28, 2014
On top of retirements slowing down,there has been no captain promotions either! If we at least had capt promotions that would help we need a class of capts this month!
Brokenstick said
Mar 28, 2014
We still have a good amount of probable retirements for April to come.
twntynout said
Mar 28, 2014
+ 6 ? now im really confused, is that untill April 2nd? n then back to -7 like previously stated...
TransitSucks said
Mar 28, 2014
prob cuz there was a promotion today of 30 something
18and1 said
Mar 28, 2014
+6 and 39. Two additional put in today. One comes of March 31, 2014. The other is April 30, 2014.

What do you guys think the chances of them getting to list 550 before the proposed capts test in sept.
Slim to none?
Stanza said
Apr 3, 2014
The way the list is moving probably around 450.

big guy said

Wishful thinking would be 3 classes of 35 by that time, more likely though will be 2 classes...so add 105 if ur optimistic, 70 the other way.....give or take a handful of passovers

Agree with big guy, I'm about 100 names away and I'm not going to take the test. Even if they do three classes within the next six months, they won't make it past 100 names, going by the class sizes lately.
Brokenstick said
Apr 3, 2014
Hopefully we have some additional retirements this month on top of expected terminal departures.
