Official word is 6 leave in 1Q 2020, Remaining 14 remain until 4Q.
Rumor mill over replacement has dried up lately.
The sim is going to get the stall software upgrade in March which will mean one sim session per day is lost for several weeks. That will drive some slowdown in training over the winter, since a lot of available time will be needed for recurrent. Other than that training right now is at the same pace it has been and a lot of people who have been withheld are leaving for other equipment. I've had quite a few folks in recurrent lately who will be gone from the fleet within a few months.

The E2 would make a whole lot of sense- once Piedmont & Envoy merge within the next 5 years, regardless of whether the new entity remains an "independent" WO or is stapled to AA as a B scale- the transition from the 140/145 or 175 would be easier for the upgrading pilot group as opposed to the 319/320 or A220...

If 40 continues, hires will be in 880 - 890 range.
Early in the year (and still listed here on APC) was a forecast of 900. (This was much debated, I still have scars to prove it!)
Recently, people have said the forecast is 930.
If the last few classes increase to 50 a class, the answer to your question is, “Yes, pretty much spot on.”
For reference, 2017 had 645 hires.
