[jtg76]

I've noticed the J-air Embraer 170 Captain position is no longer on Parc's site. Does anyone know, does this mean the April class is filled? Will they be posting the position again any time soon? I received the app from Parc, but didn't turn it in yet - does that make a difference? thanks for any info,
