Not a rumor, the training department is definitely prepping for a 75 person class. I think the next 3 classes are 40, 50, and 75 respectively. Not sure if they're having such a big class because of the holiday or of that will just be the new normal.
Right now the LIMFAC for new guy training is the simulator. They just added an E-period to the schedules (2220 brief for a 2350-0350 sim), so unless training gets access to more simulators, they're pretty much maxxed out in capability. I was impressed how they keep so many moving parts moving fairly smoothly, that has to be a logistical nightmare.
