Uh no, there are still 1600 + pilots in front of a new hire today that will be flowing at a much faster rate than 15 per month. You are right in the sense that the longer it is going forward for a new hire, that time will increase as more pilots in the "15 pilots per month" group get hired before them.

That being said. The current envoy flow paradigm didn't become what it is today through one contractual negotiation. It has evolved through several negotiation periods which is why there are several distinct groups established. The AAG/envoy management didn't do this by mistake. You can expect that in a few years, perhaps during the next Section 6 negotiating period, they will suggest that the pilots hired after Oct 2013, those currently in the 15 per month group, will do up to 25 or 30 a month in exchange for whatever management wants from the pilots at the time. You will then have another group established at the flow will go back to 15 a month for someone hired after that signing date.

I don't agree with it. I don't think that as a union we should allow for a separation of employees to receive different compensation but it is what it is. A new hire today can expect to be confronted with the decision of accepting a certain contract attached to a greater flow provision or reject the contractual change and maintain the 15 flows per month.
