For reference, when I was hired last year, I waited 2 weeks for my CRB before being offered a class date. It isn't supposed to be an extension of the interview - just a review period for your application to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.
Definitely have a back up plan in the event that they hold you guys in limbo for a while. Get somewhere and start building 121 hours.
I heard during recurrent that Envoy thinks it no longer needs more DECs, which is why they ended the bonus. I did meet a couple DECs and FOs going through initial sim training. I saw a ground school class of 7 that looked like young FOs. It will be interesting to see if there are forced upgrades on the next award, I am guessing there won't be.
I agree, plan for the worst and hope for the best. It's always good to have a backup plan.
