This right here ^^^.

It's been said over and over. There are too many holes in the numbers we're fed. Too many points of failure. I still think the flow can work, but the lack of new hires and metering are signs of trouble already. The returning T pilots have given ENY management a reprieve by slowing the departing flows and allowing them to bank more new hires, then the holidays will give them a little more staffing wiggle room as the training center slows down. Unless the new hire issue resolves itself, 2017 is going to be interesting.
