2 Classes of 22 new hires (44) going on this month. AAG wants Piedmont a junior Airline. Look for more then 3 a month to flow at first. Gotta get rid of all those 25 plus year guys.
300 Pilots and I'd say about half the first 100 will opt in on the flow. Many will actually want to fly the 175's and remain Captains. However look for many upgrades in the Dash's.
As the fleet grows the number that flow to AA will increase by the same %.
