It is a legal issue because there are a lot of people that were not hired, failed the interview, hired, but not put in a class, in the NWA pool, may go to class after CPS and Mesaba pilots, etc. In a nut shell announcing hiring or thinking of hiring is a legal tightrope. Especially shortly after SOC. As I have been told many times, "The longer the time between the end and start of hiring cycles, the better." It cuts down on the legal issues that may come in to play.
