Right now the -200 is pretty much staffed, the SAAB is overstaffed (more TOWOP for July) and to fix the error of overstaffing the SAAB they are filling -900 FO slots from SAAB FO slots, I heard from an FTI that they are still interviewing one day a month but I also heard classes are filled till August, I believe there are still around 12-13 more -900s to come, so in I bet by Fall (pending any hold up between now and then) the new hire classes will start back up...with attrition slowing so much I am sure the 300 more pilots number has decreased drastically
