Yes. Once the 824 is finished (which should happen in may or june), we go to 35% of classes. When the 40th 175 is on property (~august), then it goes back up to 50% but metered to 25/mo. During that they will essentially ask every pilot on the property every month whether or not they want to flow, and the most senior 35% or 25/mo who say yes will go.
There are also about 350 senior captains who already bypassed flow before the 824. They will get a second chance when the protected pilots begins, and many of them will reverse their decision and go. This is especially true of ORD captains, since ORD has been decimated.
