AA doesn't give a damn about regional staffing, they need every soul they can hire. Thinking they hire and block flow strategically is just another APC urban legend.
I'd say there are more people with AA interviews from WOs than ever before.
They you haven't been paying attention. AA is absolutely panicking about regional staffing. Most people do not understand that more passengers at AA are flown on regional jets every day than flown on the entire Airbus fleet. The regional lift is far more important than most people realize.

That was updated about 2 weeks ago. Over 2100 now for 2022, classes of 45 every week for 2022 and to continue "for the foreseeable future". This was first announced a couple weeks ago and again confirmed at RTAG this past weekend.
