It was simply a sugared up projection of what they may have believed would occur, but didn't. Sure gave some of the pilots a warm and fuzzy while others were skeptical. The skeptics were proven correct.

For him to be right, 270 upgrades will need to occur before the end of this year and they will need to hire a sufficient number of pilots every month to maintain current fleet size and transition perhaps 300 Envoy pilots to AA through 2016 and another 167 this year (240 or 20/month).
