Yes, those are the "projections".

Don't forget all the pilots that will have to be hired to maintain Envoy at its present size. But how can that happen when by the end of 2016 with 14.7 pilots upgrading per month for 230, TWICE that many are supposed to flow to AA (80/till November, then 30/month through 2016) ?
That's a net loss of 230 captains slots coupled with a theoretical requirement to hire All the pilots lost between then or perhaps 700 or so through 2016. Sorry..........too much contradiction there to be anything but fuzzy to me. It works for the Crusader though who is definitely on a crusade.
