Mink,
The statement was "they're hiring as many as they can as fast as they can. Ultimately the limit, as currently structured, would be about 60(65?)." (paraphrased) That number was just an educated guess.
The lead time to get spun up, from what I've been told, is measured in months, not weeks. Throw in the 17 months until the A320 shows up, along with a potential(hopefully!) training bubble developing, and they probably need 30 hrs in a day to stay afloat.
