The last group (After DOS) has no minimum amount that legally has to flow every single month. So isn't there quite a possibility that if Envoy couldn't hire enough pilots that AA could REALLY slow the amount that flows in the After DOS group?
The after DOS group is 5 pilots and then 1 pilot for every 125 pilots above 480 or 25% of the AA classes. It holds as much water as the other groups after the 824. The 824 group people are much more confident that they won't slow the flow. But I think cautious optimism is a good approach to this situation.
