Yeah my guess is that If we are hiring (emphasis on if, I haven't heard of any classes lately) it's mostly to cover attrition. The overall size of the company has shrunk during the merger, I'm not sure where it will level off. That press release about "Flexjet goes on hiring spree" was very strange, as that's not an accurate statement. I'm not sure why they saw fit to type that up and send it out.

From the recent interview it looks like Flexjet has enough applicants and only those with an internal recommendation are looked at.
No need to waist your time applying according to the CEO.
A Chat with Flexjet?s Chairman and Chief Executive ? Robb Report
It has been reported that the aviation industry is suffering from a pilot shortage. How is that impacting Flexjet?
KR: There is a pilot shortage if you’re a commuter airline and you’re trying to find somebody who can sit in the right seat of your aircraft and build time. We’re not experiencing that at all. In fact, we’re seeing the opposite. When we expanded and we knew we were getting more planes, we had an opening for 65 pilots. To make sure that we were getting the kind of pilots that we wanted, we asked our existing 700 pilots to recommend someone. [A prospective applicant] couldn’t apply on our website without a recommendation from one of our existing pilots. In two weeks, 1,000 people got onto that website for 65 positions, and we didn’t even open it to the public. It was referral only.

They will say whatever is needed at the time!! It started with Flex on day one with KR call and him stating that nothing would change!!!!!!! Do not listen to all of the minions, he will say something then do something completely opposite.
