We are currently finishing up the 2007 hires now that are flowing to AA. In the next year, we should be able to flow all of those hired in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. We may start on the 2013 hires as well, depending on outside attrition and how many bypass flow.
That being said, those hired in 2012 will flow in 2018, and those hired in early 2014 will flow in 2019. With outside attrition picking up, it is plausible that every 2014 hire will flow in 2020.
I know that a lot of people (me included) had a hard time believing when hired a few years ago that we would really flow in 6 years. But it looks like it really could happen.
Man, where do we begin here. I will refute everything you stated above by asking you if you received the email from the company where they elected to reduce the flow over the summer months and not send any pilot to AA until they could afford to lose those 5 captains?
Also AA hires 10 months out of the year = 100 pilots a year flown, maybe you should redo the math...
