Where are you hearing this? We lost 46 pilots in the last month, I doubt we can stop hiring, even through the summer. I believe we just started a class yesterday of around 40, and have another class line up for the beginning of May.
Maybe someone who knows someone in the training house can chime in.

We have a new hire class that started this week and upgrade starting in June (idk about other upgrade classes). But all CJO holders were sent an email saying no more classes until till the fall as of right now. Obviously this is subject to change but sounds like they want all hands on deck for the summer. Attrition is sky high though.

It's speculation on my part ,but judging by their actions I'd say they are running out of sim slots at least enough to account for attrition/new hires, upgrades and regular qualifications.(PCs and PTs) This is why they need AQP and the MCO training sims. AQP moves requal from 6 to 9(+?) months and MCO sims open up a lot of slots for the East coast bases. So less slots needed and more slots available.
