Pretty much. But if you wanted the bro, you could ask for it...they might give it to you. Start as an FO, learn the airplane, then upgrade in 6-8 months.

No. My buddy had 121 exp, chief pilot exp, and a ton of hours. He got offered the Bro. It has a lot to do with what next class is scheduled.

To answer the original question, according to "Headlines" the company newspaper, they are projecting a total of 600+ by the end of this year (450 of those are hired already) and then they want 600+ again the next year. This came in an article written by Camielle our recruiter. She also discussed how they do not plan to lower minimums any lower then they already are.
