All the other percentages and numbers are the LESSER as well. Current new hires get 25% or 5 slots in class if I recall. So envoy's flow has PSA beat by 1 when it comes to new hires.
New hires after Dec 23, 2014 get a minimum of:

Envoy Pilots will occupy the lesser of 25% or 5 slots in a given month at American Airline new hire classes. The base number of 5 will be increased by 1 for every 125 pilots on the master seniority list above 480.
They could do more just as they can and sometimes do now.. We may or may not have more than 480 pilots in 5-6 years. Who knows. Right now we still have over 2000. Also it's still a WAY better flow than PSA because there is no interview. How many major airline interviews are successful the first time around? Maybe 20-30%? Not an interview I would want to count on passing coming from a wholly owned regional, especially when staffing is getting extremely bad at your company 5+ yrs from now.
