Well, the 20 later this month is simply the present claim. How many actually show is yet to be seen. Hopefully, for everyone's sake it's accurate. Apparently a few in the present class are older and/or ex-military and might simply be looking for 121 currency and the next class will probably include some similar situations.

Envoy needs to bring in and most importantly retain at least 35 new-hires a month every month, if they plan to flow the represented numbers to AA along with outside attrition from more tenured pilots. Absent that, each months deficit from that only ensures future contraction which jeopardizes present flying allocation from AAG. It's interesting that a union source said that MIA flying is projected in May to be equivalent to at least 40 hard lines of flying, yet AAG won't green light an Envoy domicile there (at least not yet). To me, that says AAG is keeping their options open for the future should that flying be reassigned elsewhere over time as the capabilities of various carriers ebb and flow with their pilot counts.
