Agreed. This has really been the foundation of my comments and the reasoning behind my criticism of some of the bad actors here who are here to do nothing but spin melodramas into fairy tales for the purposes of luring the simple-minded into their existence. I think the primary reason why so many are outraged is that they believed or desperately wanted to believe "things are different this time". They're not. Envoy doesn't HAVE to meter, it CHOOSES to meter and is doing so at arguably a point where they have the most flexible staffing and lowest amount of flying tasked to them.

Let's look at this from a snapshot POV. For the month of February, they imply that releasing 5 more pilots to AA would apparently destabilize their operation for that month and perhaps March. We're not talking about Summer. Fall or beyond as they could always meter legitimately in the future. No, they are simply maximizing their interests because..........well, they can. They've been doing this for decades and so nothing is new and this SHOULD be of little surprise to anybody. In the future with the PP program I believe they can meter to 25 and so that should be expected regardless of the situation. Same with upgrades and one would be prudent IMO, to assume the slowest possible advancement. Fact is, we haven't even seen some real game changers yet, like consolidation and so those would likely impede advancement even more then anticipated based just on the latest realities.
