Is that just a budgetary difference with how far they plan out the hiring? Its been common for them to tout the approval numbers for the funding for X number of pilots through a fixed date in the future, but to then expand on that for additional month not previously included. If, OTOH, projected hiring has fallen to 700 for the year, that would represent a pretty big change and a highly concerning bellwether, especially in light of the new wave of scab FoC airlines, dual subsidized ME3 and highly suspicious JV ambitions.
