Envoy Going from 25 to 29 a month after previously having had 50% of all new hire positions at AA is still a loss on flow.... less of one, but still a loss.

They were an honest 5.5 year flow when they had 50% of all new hire slots. The retirements alone got you a 5.5 year flow. Now, not so much, even at 29.
