I often think that setting up hold pools and having people in them for an excessive period of time is counterproductive. The longer people are in it, the more likely they are to have found other jobs.
So the airline’s planning for the input of new pilots becomes much more complicated, especially when a large number of them may not take a start date when they finally get offered.
Personally, I think they’re much better planning and recruiting for the next 3-4 months at a time. Which sounds like what they’re doing. As BarryMG says, training capacity is probably full until the summer, so they’ll prioritise those with experience.
