A WO will never flow more than they're contractually required to, and they'll never agree to a new contract that's going to create bigger hiring/staffing problems than already exist.
Far more likely is AA increasing OTS hiring to keep pace with their hiring needs. Anything else just doesn't make sense.
What do you think will hurt WO staffing more
- honest 5 year flow
Or
- flow that isn't worth anything and OTS hiring at AA
