Here's hoping the flow doesn't stop after the 824. You guys deserve a break!
There is no reason to believe the flow will stop after the 824 - the protected pilot group starts immediately following. The number of pilots who flow will initially be lower, 35% of all AA new hire classes but when the 40th 175 shows up, that number goes back to 50% of AA new hires. The 175s are already showing up at an accelerated rate - the time between the last 824 and the 40th 175 delivery should only be a few months. Most people were expecting some sort of delay or slow down to the 175 delivery schedule.
