The version of the rumor I'm hearing is they are taking a pause because they need to figure out if the flow is still happening or not. If it is, they don't need as many street hires, and don't want to create a huge pool (Delta's not been into 100+ person pools. They generally seem to want to send a person to class within 60 days or so of the interview - at least with civilians.) If something happens that the flow is not available, they'll need more bodies from the street, and it should be game-on full bore again in August.

I don't think hirring numbers have changed any. Most recent base visits (which happened last week,) and other info comming out hasn't mentioned a change in the game plan for the numbers.
