My understanding is the "program" is over, and besides a few former program FOs on furlough, the company will have to hire pilots like everyone else once this expansion starts. An investment firm called Victory Park Capital bought Gulfstream as part of an agreement to exit bankruptcy protection earlier this year.

As far as I know, most of the "old guard" from the Cooper years has resigned and a new management team is in place. These new owners seem very motivated to see the airline succeed, and are willing to throw a lot of money into it.
