Here's how to tell if the flow is violated in June. According to Sam Pool's 4/14 email, the last 11 of the 824 will be flowing in June. In Letter 12-03 of our contract, it states:

"if the last new hire class containing Eagle pilots occupying any of the 824 positions contains fewer than 35% Eagle pilots, then AA agrees to offer to Eagle pilots under this Agreement the number of positions necessary to achieve 35%."

So if AA hires 31 pilots or less in June, then they don't need to add any PPs to make 35%. But if AA hires more than 31 pilots in June, we need PPs in class to get it to 35% of whatever the total is, or they will be violating the flowthrough agreement. Selection is meaningless, except that they have to select in time to get us 35% in class in June.

Sometimes AA slows down its classes in the summer months. The first May class at AA only had 21, though it looks like they will have 3 classes beginning in May (if they keep starting them every other Tuesday). We'll have to wait and see how many go to class in June.

This is how I read it anyway, it seems pretty cut and dry. If they violate the flow...well everyone will have to decide for themselves what reaction will be appropriate.
