Your semantics are virtually every one else's facts. I must admit I had tired myself of beating this dead horse, but once again accuracy must be defended and the facts are that Envoy will have to upgrade 19-22 F/O's for the remainder of the year to meet their 205-250 upgrade claim and then for 2017 and the first half of 2018 another 700 plus F/O's will have to upgrade to clean up the F/O list. On top of that, they'll have to hire 900+ just to keep the airline at present size and not contract (read: screeching halt to upgrades) during the same period. extremely Unlikely. As for the flow, that will likely come to a halt starting about June as the Letter T pilots return, the estimate of which varies from about 150 to as many as 400 (presently just under 900 exist), but in any case it will stop the flow for 3 months to as long as the remainder of 2016. The 6 year estimate is more unlikely, then likely.

All these projections are smoke and mirrors by a bad magic act that those in the front row could tell right off the bat. Now the audience farther back is catching on and becoming bored with the show. Soon, the ticket guy out front will be shooing away the curious for their own good. I'm sorry, but I think few are buying your schtick. You're late to that party and it's dried up long ago.

Perhaps if you fire the bunny and flip the black hat back right side up and wear it while reverting to a good song-and-dance routine for entertainment, you might recapture the sleeping audience ?
