The class that started last week appears to have more FO's than CA's in it. As I stated, we have not stopped hiring FO's, just slowed way down on them so there is a wait.

Perhaps I didn't make the right point. It would be better to not even use the words "hiring" and "hired" due to the unusual nature of the industry.
OP's question was slightly lacking precision but OP presumably is interested in applying to CommutAir as an F/O and would like to know if they are interviewing and when classes will be. The answer to "are they interviewing" is "probably, but in much smaller numbers right now", and if one asks "are there any classes on the horizon for people interviewing now" the answer is "no". It's one thing to say that there's a wait, but the reality is they are not even scheduled yet.

There is no "probably" about us interviewing. Yes, we are still interviewing for FO positions. Yes, there are classes on the horizon for FO's and we are currently "hiring" and putting FO's in class even though at a reduced amount. Yes, we have a hiring pool for the FO's, so an FO with a CJO will not be put in the next class like we were doing a couple of months ago.
I expect the FO hiring to pick up again right after Jan 1st (the holiday slow down) and the pool will not stay for very long.

You: "we are currently hiring and putting FO's in class"
Also you: "we having a hiring pool"
Now, maybe it's not a contradiction and the company is doing both. But that wouldn't make sense unless class date offerings were not in chronological order of CJO date. If they're not in order it would be interesting to know what determines whether someone interviewed today gets a date or gets pooled.
Appreciate the info regarding what you think will happen after January 1st.
