Going to interesting but looks like they are starting finally to do all the right things. Plus now I've heard they have access to more 145 simulators.
What does a seamless transition have to do with anything? The fact is that the pilot group has not yet grown to the forecasted size.
Because it's not at the right size yet, the flow hasn't increased to the rate they were predicting. Unfortunately, the "time to flow" estimates were predicated on certain assumptions which it appears are not being met.
