Class sizes this time of year are dependent on transitions, attrition (which is low) and projected needs for next year. If there are a lot of EMB FO's transitioning from the EMB to the RJ that will decrease the number of new hire RJ FO's needed for the class but increase the number of new hire EMB FO's needed for backfill. If there aren't that many EMB FO's transitioning then the number of new hires RJ FO's will increase. Also since it's off peak they are mainly replacing attrition and padding the ranks for peak so the number of new hires this time of year is less than what they will need come march-ish......
