Well it looks like Delta is ramping up again. Their retirement numbers aren't at the level they've been hiring at. Close to 2000 since the beginning of 2014 and another 700+ this year. Delta looks to be positioning itself to replace its regoinal feed with its own fleet and pilots.
The only question is will UAL and AA respond in time before Delta aborbs too many from the non-regional fleet?

All Delta CJO Holders:
I am happy to inform you that Delta has increased its training slots for the first and second quarters of 2016 as we anticipated. Each of you who presently hold a CJO will receive a training class assignment not later than April, 2016. (Please disregard this email if we have already placed you in a training class)
IMPORTANT NOTICE! We have instituted a new process for offering training class slots to all of our CJO holders. We will no longer call you to offer a class assignment because that process is too inefficient. We will now send you an email offering you a training class assignment and we will need to receive your response within 24 hours after receiving this email! Please ensure that your contact information is correct on your AirlineApps application because that is the information we will use to contact you.
Your response will have to be returned to us via email or FAX and the critical action on your part is to return the required forms to us indicating your acceptance within 24 hours of the receipt of our offer so please check your email on a daily basis.
Congratulations on your upcoming class date and we look forward to welcoming you to Delta’s Flight Operations Team!
