You might be forgetting the fact that after ground school comes sim and flight training, then OE (for direct entry pilots), and then assessing how many will make the grade and sacking the ones who aren't going to cut it. All that takes time, and all that determines when the next batch of candidates will be needed. Depending on the number of pilots in the last ground school, the composition (SICs vs PICs), the open slots, and the availability of instructors and check airmen, you could be looking at two to four months before they are in a position to set a date for another ground school.

That's probably not what you want to hear, but maybe having a better feel for what has to happen and the complexity of the process will make it easier to endure the wait.
