PSA does not even have a flow at this point so does not belong in the discussion.

Envoy's new TA guarantees 50% of each newhire AA class and minimum of 30 a month for pilots hired up to October 11th. Pilots hired after October 11th are guaranteed 35% of each AA class at a minimum of 15 a month. Pilots hired after date of signing get 25% of each AA class.

So again, even with PDT flowing 5 that is still less than Envoy. But as far as flows in the Regionals that is it:

Envoy
Piedmont
We can bypass as often as we'd like, we keep our insurance until we qualify for AA ' S plans so no gap in coverage, we go on LOA so if there is an issue in training at mainline (has never happened to a PDT pilot in the last 5 years but better to be safe than sorry) they return to their seniority longevity and position at PDT,
Our numbers scale up as we grow going to 4 in 2015 and expected to gi much higher over the next 2 years and we only have 300 ish eligible pilots at any given time and we are a third through our list already. There are things I'm missing so find the LOA from PDT and read the flow language. Iron clad.
