Looks like the theories that Envoy will increase flow or AA will increase OTS hiring from Envoy are not playing out. Bigger classes just mean that more people will be on the seniority list before we reach our flow dates.
Not real sure what you are trying to get at here. You are wrong on a couple of points at minimum. One. AA is having ZERO trouble hiring candidates that fit the culture with strong resumes. They are selecting only the best OTS resumes for review. Two. Just because there may be a stronger civilian OTS presence at the moment, means nothing in terms of what is happening at Envoy. Envoy still has a VERY strong stack of resumes JUST from guys that want to apply when they are finally accepted into the pipeline. The pipeline itself is currently full to overflowing with only the highest quality candidates selected carefully by the Envoy recruiting team. So, that being said, there are more than enough out there to increase the flow to a much higher percentage and not even notice a blip on the radar.
