The problem they were building was that you flow 20 a month but hire 60. With the average outside attrition, it means every 2 weeks increases flow time by about 1 month for a new hire. So mathematically the flow isn't as valuable for a new hire today, as it was for 2016 hires who will still flow in 6-6.5 years even with the COVID pause.
I don’t disagree, but the mid 2018 and later hires will be 7-10 years...which to me seems of little value, other than the constant movement you mention. We have some pretty sour junior folks who have been on reserve for 2 years.
I hope to beat the flow. I have a masters, some good LORs, but sitting at 700 hours in 2 years isn’t going to cut it.
I wish AAG would make good on the recruiting pitch they sold us and make it a 5 year flow, but I haven’t heard anything from the company or the union about correcting the flow to the bill of good we were sold
