I would also point out the number touted by Flight Ops senior management at several base visits in the last 10 days has been 1700ish for the year, and 1300ish in the years following (no particular end date). I have not seen any detail/granularity to that number anywhere, but I might have missed it. So even if they hire 200/month in the beginning of the year, that weighting could still be consistent with their disclosed plan, if they slow as we get to summer (which they almost certainly will). We can't really tell from today's AE memo comments if there is a broader shift in hiring, or not, IMO.
And the context of mine is that this “slowdown” in hiring has been talked about for over year and keeps getting pushed right, so you cannot say with “absolute” certainty that it will happen before someone looking to apply today gets hired.
