I think it's odd they advertised a big AE in August, but now we are getting a smaller AE preemptively in July, while saying we'll have a big AE in the fall. The big time training waterfall is hitting, and I think they'll have problems keeping up. I'm sure they are wanting some kind of relief in a new TA. That kind of stuff is not a free giveaway. Hiring/training shortage is a problem they made worse on their own despite warnings from Flight Ops.
I think it's evident by the change in size of AE's from big to small corresponds with the uptick in new hires. They can't train for a big AE while also practically doubling the rate at which we bring in new hires.
That's why the next AE will be much bigger. By the time those training events come due, most of these 540 or new hires will be on the line.
