If you wait a few weeks, the Vacancy Announcement thread should have updated guidance.

Latest word, per email, is "we currently expect to resume new hire classes in September and conduct new classes into 2022."

this would make sense, if they are planning on 300 this year and 600 next year … glad to hear it.

My crystal ball is resuming in September with classes every two weeks, at 50 per class, and December no new class (at least the last half of December). My only basis is historically what has been done. No inside schoolhouse knowledge.

Wish I could tell you. Even with 30 years at AA, I don't have a clue and I am almost 100% sure any AA pilot doesn't know as well. That goes for Chief Pilots as well.

Even when we were hiring, most were asking "WTF is going on?" That goes for a well respected CA whose son couldn't get an interview despite being a perfect candidate along with many recs.

Not sure if you're familiar with the CA/FO game, at least at AA. The lines have become more blurred in regards to quality of life and compensation. For instance, a savvy widebody FO with somewhat decent lineholding seniority can easily make more money than many A320/737 CA's along with a far better quality of life including far less work. PreCovid, most mid range narrowbody Captains had greater relative seniority than if they flew 787/777 FO in bases with Asia trips.

NGPA was back in February. OBAP will be virtual again, but info on attending companies probably won't be known until late June/early July.

I believe most with CJO’s have been given class dates. Additional CJO’s are going out now (those interviewed before covid that did not hear anything).

People in my CJO class (31 March 2020) were just asked to send in paperwork, not an actual date yet. The email did say new hires in September, but that has already moved up a month from October. Still waiting on an official date.
