In that case, full disclosure -- the union is estimating new hires to be flowing in just over 9 years.
NINE YEARS TO FLOW.
Listen up, cadets/RTP bubbas/rando normies off-the street: if you were to stick around to flow after 9 years, at best, you've already missed the retirement wave at AA. You'll be stuck at the very bottom of a mostly stagnant seniority list. If you don't know why that's scary, you haven't done enough research on the airline industry.
But hey. Keep smoking your hope-ium.
