Slowing down for the holidays means, "we can't fill classes so we will tell everyone we planned for the classes to be smaller for the holidays rather them telling the truth."
They also like to boast the artificial class size number. 18 in a "indoc" class which 3 might be sim instructors, another 2 or 3 ground instructors, a couple of dispatchers and only around 10 FOs that will go through the full training foot print from indoc to IOE. Of those 10, at least 1 or 2 will not be around in 6 months.
