The little blurb now on the employee website says 80 FOs have completed training since June 1 and are now online. A bit of math says that if hiring/training was accomplished at the same rate, another 133 pilots should have completed training from Jan 1 thru May 30. Lines up pretty closely with your numbers.
Right now, a CRJ class of 18 starts every two weeks, and a 175 class of 10 starts once a month. So either the company thinks the pilot pool is gonna dry up completely, or more airplanes are coming.

Thankfully, this isn't for me but rather my wife who is coming out of "stay-at-home-motherhood". I've got a pretty good gig at UAL so waiting for IAH is not an issue.

The majority of people hired into EJET are prior 121 and we have been told no one has washed out yet. A couple have struggled, but for now the pass rate on the EJET is 100%.

What's the training footprint for the Ejet? Where is the training conducted? What are the accommodations?

5 days Indoc in PHX, followed by 3 days of FMS training. Then it's off to STL for 12 days of systems and CPT. Stay in STL for sim....10 sessions. Then to IAH for IOE. Hotel in PHX is at Sleep Inn or Best Western, single occupancy, company paid for. Stay in STL is at the Pear Tree Inn by the airport. Both hotels do Walmart runs for food and shuttle you to the respective training facilities. Training in STL is top notch, done by FlightSafety instructors. Mesa has it's own APDs so checking is done by the company.
8/7 class have check rides scheduled for the last few days of Sept. We got about a week off after Indoc but I think that was more of a snafu than the normal plan.

Mesa has an ad out now, on JS Firm, for certificated A&P mechanics. The starting rate is advertised at $14.10 per hour. So that might offer some insight as well. Don't baristas at Starbucks make in excess of that in Seattle, with their new $15 Min wage?
