The ground coursed pilots have been told they will be advised of start dates in a couple of weeks (RLK), I think the reason they haven't been hiring at a greater rate is that they are already training at full capacity. It makes sense to nab eligable employees early and make them wait a bit for start dates so they don't go off and work for someone else - I think the hiring pool (ie pilots with 1500 TT, 500 Multi) is wearing a bit thin or will be once the Origin blip has passed.
Pure speculation? Lets see - I know I'm sending them a piece of paper. Good luck to those with up coming interviews
