As for "standing by you claims", you can parrot that until the swallows fly back to Capistrano, but it doesn't change the fact it is all bankrupt of substance and shameless film-flammery.
Perhaps YOU can tell us WHICH aircraft have been parked just maintain the flunk-thru to AA, Mr. Stand by ?
EL has active posting base of less than 5% of active Envoy pilots. It also contains numerous pilots who have exercised their flow rights or have moved on and still remain active posting members. That group typically fades away over time.
Most of the planes being parked in the near future are E140s with "power by hour" lease agreements that can be readily brought back up until reaching certain cycle limits and E145s that will backfill PDT's DHC8-300s that will be reaching cycle limits and being put to pasture next year. What happens with the TSA and Xjet birds is up for debate. I don't think any of those parking or returning aircraft have anything to do with honoring the flow thru.
The numbered pilots flowed in seniority order and were not withheld. The 824 agreement pilots are currently flowing in excess of 50% and will likely maintain that threshold until the conclusion of the agreement. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with the parking aircraft to maintain flow
