this is not all that difficult to understand.
training now is to staff to 2026 summer requirements. Yes, there may be some more small adjustments in early 2026 to address some specific needs. But by and large, the plan is to have most of 2026 needs in the bag with these bids.
any FO they hire past Feb next year is irrelevant for summer flying. So yeah - hiring 2000+ people next year can and might happen. And will trigger a 27/04 CA vacancy in the fall of 2026
