It's the lesser of one or the other, correct? Which means that if AA hires 1,000 pilots in a calendar year, Envoy gets the lesser of 25% of the training slots (250) or five new hire training slots increased by one for every 125 pilots above 480 multiplied by the number of calendar months in a year (192). So it seems fairly easy to see that due to the large amount of hiring AA is doing now and will be doing in the future, the first option probably won't happen and it will more than likely always be the second option which will be really small number compared to the first option. Plus there is no minimum number of pilots that AA must take per month. So the first three flow groups will have no problem flowing in their estimated dates if pilots continually come to Envoy however it appears that anybody hired after 12/23/14 might have a harder time making the five year flow. Does that seem accurate?
