Exactly. I would expect this to happen (or a close variation to it at least). Anything they can do to limit the flow as much as possible, they will. After all, there's a "pilot shortage" and they need all the warm bodies they can get, even if they are sitting at home not flying and getting paid.
For those coming here thinking they will flow in 5-6 years, all I can say is buyer beware. Yeah, you will probably flow at some point, but with their latest antics I would advise going elsewhere.
