Heard the same---100/mo starting in January.
FWIW, it sounds like the Airbus fleet at DENTK is being spooled up for training volume but that's a several month process to get additional instructors fully checked out.
As of last week the hiring/recall folks were telling the UA furloughees returning this fall that the remainder of the classes for 2013 will be 737 (EWR/IAH) with some 756 (EWR) mixed in. Of course, that "plan" probably changes daily.
