Each entity is treated seperately. No reason at all one can't hire while another has crew on stand down.
What is more likely to happen is what just happened with the 717 crew. Internal EOI posted for 717 F/O positions on 18 month contract. Needed to have a 717 type rating so it looks like they were actively trying to use their own staff first. There's also the benefit of reduced training needed to get them online.
