Maybe ask your old CFI or someone else at the flight school. You’d be surprised how people are willing to help out. Even ones you haven’t been in contact for a while. They know the game and aren’t going to be offended.

Man, it's so uncomfortable imposing on people, but I agree, I think everyone in this world understands. I guess I'll salve my guilt by committing to pay it forward, if people ever ask me in the future.

But their “we anticipate hiring 1,000 pilots next year” will likely just be enough to cover attrition. Especially given the size of the current applicant pool. They will probably lose 400 next year to attrition. So I’d guess they will hire around 500-600 or so to marginally grow the list.
3rd fleet? SQ?
The pairings are brutal, so it can't be that they aren't efficiently (from a company perspective) using pilots. No more soft time as an example.

Online App Status
looking of some info. I interviewed and then within 5 hours was sent a Phase 2 notification. Same day my online app status said "Congrats, you've been offered the position". A day later it says "we've moved on with other candidates" however I've received no other information about not moving on. Anyone else seen this before?
