I believe this is incorrect. My understanding is the recalls have until May 2016 to accept recall or forfeit their employment at AA. However, they will be recalled in reverse seniority order, so the more senior could net get a call to accept or resign for many months depending on how many junior to them accept. The present belief is that most will not return, but that could mean perhaps 200 or more do (out of about 1000), so that alone could take the 2nd half of 2016 off the grid for flows. If half come back (unlikely, but possible) that could take a year or more.

Actually, based on your inaccurate assumptions above, that result is far better then just a Ferris Bueller 31-flavors rumor and it is your claim of 'conjecture" that is indeed itself conjecture.
