Pilot hiring is, and always will be, a long lead time item. You can't just put an ad out and have 200 pilots on the line the next month. It takes close to 6 months to get from "we are hiring" to having a line pilot who replaces a captain who is upgrading.

That said, we still have about 500 FOs out. I think they will all be recalled by the end of the year. New hire classes start in March. Any takers?
