It's not a scare tactic... it's the company being cheap in the short term. They expect major attrition on both sides next year... shrink or not, there will be movement on erj and crj sides. In other words, who cares, don't fight... get 'yer inner pilot b!tch on and complain about management or something.

From AQP - We're hiring and filling classes through February and probably beyond that. Trying to pack 20+ in per class. Five or more instructors have been re-hired (or recalled) by the training department (this is a lot of instructors for the size of the dept)
Although there are many rumors running, no one really knows why we're hiring so many and so quickly. Mgt has been completely mum about it and no one rumor has better legs than the other (some say MIA base, some say DFW expansion, some say more CR7/9s for DCI)
No rumors or numbers of coming upgrades but no one can imagine hiring hundreds of FOs with no upgrades.
EFBs Q1 next year is a rumor with VERY strong legs according to the training department. They will be iPads. Several software vendors still on the table, but the training department has played with all of them. Most likely a transition period where we carry both the EFB and chart cases. (a preference from the FAA, not our people)

They've been saying that for years. In recurrent SH would look everyone in the eye and talk about how the iPads will be here in a few months... that was 5 years ago. Not saying you're wrong, just saying they love to talk EFB, it's like a huge never ended joke.

I thought ipads have only been around for 2 years? Damn they are good at ASA
