Two main reasons I'm guessing are we don't need NHs right now. Even if we could hire 60-70 every two weeks they wouldn't. This would create a CA FO imbalance. They NEED "high valued aviators" to fly with the NHs because we just ran out of 1000 hr 121 pilots. Once, our massive NH classes in late 16-2017 start getting to 1000 hours then we won't need the high value aviator bonuses and we can go back to hiring 60-70 a month. Also, I THINK the executives get a higher bonus if we are more profitable. Giving us more money means less bonuses for them.
