No truth at all. There is also no logical reason for it to be the truth. If they wanted to hire less they'd interview less. I can assure you that the interviewers have no quotas or other numbers to meet one way or another.

Also, ever see somebody lose at roulette betting on red eight times in a row with a "double up to catch up" philosophy? Sometimes using 1 data point and extrapolating it out is quirky.

Scheduling hypothetical
So a friend of mine gets awarded a trip for which simulator training is required. Said friend has not yet completed, nor have they been scheduled for the required simulator training.
-What happens the day prior to the trip?
-Can the trip be broken up to exclude the portion that requires simulator training?
-Can they voluntarily attend simulator training prior to the trip if the opportunity is offered?
-Can they be forced to attend simulator training any time during the month since the training wasn’t pre-posted?
-Any PWA references? ie, does 23 k apply?

The logical reason(and I said " a possibility") was that the question was posed off data from 1 interview date. That 1 specific data point MIGHT have been during the transition.....since the invites had gone out several weeks/months prior.

This exactly! It just doesn't make sense. There is a near 0% chance they turn down otherwise qualified pilots instead of sending people into a pool or slowing the rate of interviews.
