There you have it.
Consider the source (a known tree of rotten apples).
The "metering" aspect isn't really a major issue for 2013 for Eagle. First street/824 hires are expected in the 2nd August class at the earliest. That would make 8 classes for the rest of the year (usually not a holiday class at end of December). At 25/class or 50/month that would be 25 824's per month or only 5 more than minimum. AA says 200 "new hires" projected this year once the recall list to include numbered flows is thru, so that jibes. Your MEC needs to push a lot of smokescreen B.S. right now on the flying mushrooms there, so look for a lot of fluffed up cotton candy to distract your efforts at booting them before they can give management their gold bar of PBS. The AQP is another oversell with unknown language for the same reason.
These clowns have played you guys like this successfully before and it's one more time for the sweet souvenir (Bill the Butcher) again. Keep your eye on the ball.
