Unless something has changed and they recently went to a FIFO system since they started hiring after the furlough recalls, it's ALWAYS been a "pool". With candidates having the higher "overall scores" getting plucked out first.
In the brief they're NOT going to tell you the pool is competitive, and you could be swimming for possibly a year like a few have.

And it wasn't that long ago that they interviewed a healthy amount of pilots living in S. FL/MIA area.
Of course that's the way they describe it.

Thanks for the info, folks. For those of you who also made it to the pool, please keep the thread updated when you get a class date. This process certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat! I'm gonna need a vacation after all the fun is over...

It's been a while since I used a ZED, on anybody.
Some airlines, not sure about 5Y's have what's called a "high, medium, and low" ZED agreement.
But for the most part, no. A ZED is for a coach/Y class seat.
I know....I know.....SOMEONE is gonna chime in with "well, I used a ZED on (insert carrier here) and they upgrade me!!!!"
Hey, great for that guy. If they did it, awesome. If you can "socially engineer" it, great.
But again, a ZED is for a coach/Y class seat, don't expect anything more.
