If you are going to do math, you should at least use the numbers provided in the contract. 25/mo only applies to those hired on or before 10/2011. Then it goes down. Also, AA hasn't run classes in December during any recent years of hiring, so even for the protected pilots the max seems to be 275/year. I agree that in the end we are just guessing, but you might as well make it the best guess. 300/year for 7 years isn't remotely realistic.
After the 10/2011 hires flow, it goes to 35%, or no fewer than 15/mo.
After DOS (12/2014 I think) hires, it goes down again to the lesser of 25% or roughly 15-18/mo (based on a formula that depends on the size of our pilot group).
