Maybe I wasn't clear about my opinion. Even if AA had no backlog, we would have fallen well short of 330+. The 330+ claim, made by Envoy management, was dishonest. When AA training backlogs happen, it adds to the frustration begun by their dishonesty. I am just trying to advocate that people temper their expectations not only because of potential AA training backlogs (which are not Envoy's fault, obviously, but which will likely happen every year), but also from Envoy's claims.

Also I am not sure recommending people temper their expectations is the same thing as getting bent out of shape. If you would like to see examples of people getting bent out of shape, take a look back at all of the company apologists denouncing anyone who didn't believe the company's flow claims when they were made.
