So you listened to the podcast too? Thanks for the non-info.
The training backlog is nowhere close to being cleared up. The current class waiting on OE is more than a month after completing sims. The class after them is just starting to complete sims. OE seems to be the next bottleneck

Unless the company gets more CKA, I only see the delays getting worse. Sims may not be the problem anymore, but OE is backing up a lot.

The 5/29 class did 3 days of indoc and returns in early July.
The Director of Flight Ops came to my ground recurrent last month essentially saying "I dont know why they thought we could hire 100/mo when our training center has capacity for 50/mo."
So i dont know what changed in the last month but it doesn't seem like much.

They’re hiring more CKA and APDs. CKAs are flying insane hours this year. The plan is for less than 2 weeks wait, but obviously we run a very lean training department. The instructors are also working crazy hours. The long delay from last fall is definitely not planned in the near future.

Currently training more CKAs and APDs (soon). I think they say 1-2 months for LCA training, but a lot depends on the inspectors. Also it’s a lot of work. You can make a bunch of money, but work your butt off. That’s not for everyone.

There’s no way in ****ing hell the 100 aircraft are purely for growth lol. I don’t care what anyone from management is trying to promote in a new hire class. Seriously, just think about it for a minute. Scope is completely maxed out and United’s order for an additional 20 (options for 39) pretty much takes care of the CRJ7 replacements. Maybe some additional aircraft for Delta and possibly American(?), but this isn’t going to equate to 100 frames. That leaves Alaska and Hawaiian left that need regional lift. I guess Alaska is plausible, but highly unlikely, since they don’t have a scope clause. Hawaiian doesn’t need more than Empire so that’s not happening. I’m not trying to be negative, but from a logical standpoint I don’t see any possibility where these 100 planes can be strictly for growth.
