Actually, I’ve had kind of a crappy day so bring on the rainbows. I’m skeptical as heck that new hires will be seen in the next year at least but it’s nice to have a little optimism.

We have been uniquely insulated from this economically crushing pandemic. To see a more real world example of economics in action, look no further than 9/11. We had hired all the way up to the summer of 2001, stopped hiring late summer, the tragic events of 9/11 happened, and we furloughed as soon as November. Those guys didn't return for over five years, and that was repeated throughout the industry.
Absent all the CARES Act $$ we would have thousands furloughed, as would every pax carrier.
To paraphrase your own question, "does anyone really believe that absent money from the feds, we WOULDN'T have tons of pilots on the street?"

Sorry but I read the newsletter and did not see anything foreshadowing any type of maximum training. This the the best line I found:
”we’re gearing up to serve the pilots. Training capability will be the driver of our recovery: We are removing training constraints where we can.”
The rest just mentions reorganization of fleet chiefs and the new flap extension procedure.
