Fill them up as soon as frames are available. Whatever frames. The myth of training not needing frames is long debunked, the speed of training is proportional to the numberf of airftames in a unit
I consistently get widespread daily training increases in units with 0, 1 or only 2 airframes in them. Below is a screenshot of a unit with 1 airframe only in it which last turn had 11 pilots showing up green.

Yes, but at those ranks and at that experience level, if the squadron were fully equipped with planes, nearly every pilot would be in the green every day provided they had acceptable leadership and supply.
Also, that is for allies, who often do not have airframes to fill out some squadrons. It is not as critically important to the allied effort to maximize training. For Japan, there is no reason not to have all squadrons filled out in 1942.
Aurorus is essentially correct, thought I would qualify it somewhat. When pilots (with sufficient planes) have low skill levels (30-50) in the skill being trained you will often see all or almost all make a skill gain in a day of training. As skill levels rise, so frequency and size of gains go down. A fully planed group with pilots in the sixties will probably only see sub 20% of the pilots make a gain in a day. High sixties - even less. A group without planes with skills in the sixties will see far fewer gains
