Last I had heard, They had interview slots filled up through the end of July. Those inteviews would likely fill up any August, September, and possibly October classes. If the flow continues, the compass/mesaba guys that were held back 90 days would need most of the slots in Nov/Dec, so you wouldn't need many street hires to fill those classes.

The version of the rumor I'm hearing is they are taking a pause because they need to figure out if the flow is still happening or not. If it is, they don't need as many street hires, and don't want to create a huge pool (Delta's not been into 100+ person pools. They generally seem to want to send a person to class within 60 days or so of the interview - at least with civilians.) If something happens that the flow is not available, they'll need more bodies from the street, and it should be game-on full bore again in August.

I don't think hirring numbers have changed any. Most recent base visits (which happened last week,) and other info comming out hasn't mentioned a change in the game plan for the numbers.
