Nothing really has changed. The intake is still very slow, mostly due to CAAC red tape BS and overly strict medical standards. Mostly stuff HNA really has not much control over.
The airline itself still needs a boatload of Captains to fuel the expansion (Quite a few planned new routes had to be delayed simply because they don't have enough pilots, especially Captains on the 787) and they try to do everything in their power to speed things up.
Having said that, you are still dealing with a relatively young airline and things are quite different from what you're used to at your "perfect" previous employer. Don't try to "improve" things, you just work yourself into an early grave... Just relax, take the money and have a good time.
