Ahhhh....the usual suspects rationalizing their own myopic positions.

The only real question you've demanded from me so far as I can tell is that you want ME to provide some "hard numbers and facts, instead of doomsday scenarios". I've told you what I've heard and my assessment of that and you're free to believe that or not. I couldn't care less either way.

Why don't you ask Mason the same question, that being what is the hard data to support that the flow (and thus upgrades) have a high degree of probability of occurring in the future, when the realistic numbers to support that have yet to materialize. A month of two of hiring (whose trend is declining already) certainly doesn't support such claims ?

Has Envoy hired the minimum 30 pilots/month consistently to support the flow schedule by Envoy management ?

I don't think so.

Considering that schedule assumes very few Envoy pilots will leave in the future, is that schedule even realistically accurate ?

I don't think so.

Considering the AA/U merger isn't complete yet and the majority of its synergies require a single pilot group and the specific scheduling system part of that equation (PBS) which have yet to be implemented, is it a "doomsday scenario" to base a temporary cessation of AA flow for 1-3 years really a "doomsday scenario" ?

Yes, it is more likely then not, but even with that, it is hardly the arrival of doomsday.

I think I've answered your questions as well as I can, but we both know that is pointless with you and the usual suspects here. You've got an agenda and the only real weapon (albeit feeble) is to attack the messenger, instead of acknowledging his message has some validity or producing your own hard facts to disprove it.

So far, all I've seen is a shower of rocks.
