In my own informal observation, most 824 do not have apps out. About half of the protected captains I talk to DO have their apps out. Most FOs have their apps out elsewhere as well. For those who don't, it won't take long to bring them up to speed if it becomes apparent that the pie in the sky predictions are going to be bull.

My point is that AAG WILL have stabilized regional feed. Envoy is going to have a leg up on flow numbers (but not flow time) for the next few years. And then all three will be nearly equal after the protected pilots are gone.

If it is destablized feed they want, they will screw with the flow again before then. Pilots will bail and no one will come here and the death spiral won't be stopped.
