Here's a basic math lesson for you. Envoy currently has roughly 2000 pilots. If 360 flow per year, that's about a 5 1/2 year upgrade. We already know that the top 200 or so pilots are not flowing. Let's just say that all 2000 on the list are going to flow. 2000 / 360 = 5.5.
There's your math. Got anything that's useful you'd like to discuss now?
I'd love to discuss this with a rational person that doesn't feel compelled to lie and present half truths to attract a few extra new guys. We aren't flowing 360 a year. You keep using that number but we haven't done it in the past and we won't do it this year regardless of what you think or Ric "expects". There will be no street hires or flows for May, June and July. After flowing 120 in the first 4 months that gets us to flowing around 300 if they have classes in Dec which they haven't had the previous two years so we may end up flowing 270 in 2016. Math lesson: that's 90 less than the number you keep using. We need to upgrade 36 pilots a month for the next 20 months for ric's expectations to work out. We need to flow a minimum of 27 a month, uninterrupted(don't laugh) for the next 56 months straight for his calculations to work. Call us cynical if you must but we've been down this road before.
