Okay hear me out. Crew planning was requesting 100+ pilots for the Oct/Nov/Dec period at the end of July. There was a known break in training from mid July until October so they could do CA upgrades. So that would explain the "P.S." when they said they are "temporarily stopping hiring" (it said hiring, not training) in the email.

I know that second to last sentence mentions the mainline hiring and how that would resume envoy to a hiring staus as well but they also said something like this earlier this year "within the industry some carriers, have either slowed down and/or stopped pilot hiring. That is not the case for Envoy with aircraft delivery stream that continous into 2025, we will be hiring DECs, Cadets, and FOs every month throughout this year." Obvisously things changed when AA stopped hiring but the reason for continued hiring was new aircraft deliveries not anything else.

Even if it is a portion of those 100+, I think they will at least get some of the cadets started. Removing 100+ FOs from the forecast like it was nothing in a week is possible but I'm gonna say that they are still planning on some degree of training this year/fall.

In addition to this, some cadets, who did not get a CJO before they got rid of orientations, have heard that the CRB will be processing their paperwork soon. I personally got an email from them the other day asking to resend a document so "it does not hold me up from going into class once completed." Why would they be recollecting paperwork now if they weren't going to call me for another 4 months just to lose it again? Also, why would they still hold interviews in august/september (and not just push them to next year) if those people wouldn't be seeing a class until possibly next summer if training does not start until January or later. Just some stuff to think about.

Things can change on us pretty quickly but I am gonna remain hopeful (and maybe a bit delusional haha) that we will see some type of training resuming this fall!
