I doubt it, and in a good way.
There are now 3 classes for August and the word at TK this week is to expect that operational tempo until next summer. They are gonna operate the place at 100% capacity so hiring will be much stronger than this spring/summer.
There are 45 new Boeings coming in 2020 (and an unknown number of used sheet busses). Combine that with retirements and it's really the perfect storm.

It's currently 2 777, 15 787, and 28 B737. (source) There are also ~420 retirements in 2020.
However, it appears that UAL is very seriously planning on mainline growth. A new sim building is nearing completion in DEN and the next one after that is already planned.
Somebody in a cubicle at HQ is apparently expecting UAL to have more mainline pilots in the future, and the BOD has signed off on the $$$ for it.
All that said, I can't emphasize enough that the long term planning committee meets twice a day. We've all seen this movie before.
