No offense but that’s silly. The company’s not going to shut down hiring across all departments because 100 pilots need some extra sim periods.
Something big is going on because I just can’t believe a sudden company-wide hiring freeze is due to “economic conditions” because let’s face it.....economic conditions are not that bad.

There has been many articles written over the past month about how the capacity is down since the accident. I think the company expected bookings to slide about 1-3% afterwards, but it appears to be just a touch higher than that. Consumer confidence will rebound and I'm sure. So this and the Hawaii timeline put together and it's most likely that the company just doesn't want to get ahead of itself.

To which accident do you refer?
What is your definition of capacity?
"I think" Neither you nor I get paid to think. Can you name the top three execs?

The accident with the catastrophic engine failure, which resulted in a passenger death.
Capacity = Bookings
Kelly, Nealon and Van De Ven.
A quick Google consult says fewer bookings and higher oil prices are the reason the company is slowing capacity expansion for the rest of the year.
