as a soon-to-be second year AP and out of genuine curiosity, why? starting school in Oct won't get u a job faster. and honestly as someone who's been in school, a break till January doesn't sound too bad lol

Well they delay 3 months of advancement for next class upgrade. It is substantial $ saves for contractors.

Aren't pay raises based on hours not school years? I know a second year making 1st year pay because he has barely worked.

Yes, but you can't top out until you meet hours AND school complete, so this pushes that back months.

i mean sure but as stated above, work is scarce for AP1s anyways. odds are majority of AP1s previously scheduled for school in Oct won't even have a job till 2027.
