Only time or Matey will tell us,

Without wishing to get into an English language debate, to my (very) simple mind people getting taken on with zero hours and needing all their training are ab-initio cadets, those that already have their MEIR and low hrs but need the type rating are cadets.

Ab-initios take over a year to train and no airline can be sure of their recruitment requirements in a years time so there is an element of risk there that needs to be shed onto the ab-initio by not guaranteeing them a job when they graduate.

One of the 3 recruitment campaigns might be for zero hours ab-initios but you can’t assume that. They might have one for low hrs cadets, another for experienced rated on their aircraft type and another for experienced but rated on other aircraft types.

Neither of us are in a position to know so we’ll have to sit tight and wait for all to become clear.
