How it gets applied is another question, but "in the calendar year" does not appear anywhere in the prior groups and I don't believe in accidental nature of any legal language.
It's in 18-01.
"lesser of"
and
"times the number of calendar months in that calendar year in which American actually hired pilots."
If one month Envoy sends 0, they are still restricted by the 25% at the end of the year, or 20 ish/month based on the pilot group size.
So if AA does not hire from January to May, but then hires for 6 months until the end of the year, Envoy has to flow around 120 pilots that year. 0 until May, 20 until December. Lesser of then is the 20 a month, times the number of months AA hired, 6 = 120 that year.
Extreme example to clarify this. If AA hires for one month, Envoy will send 20 pilots that year.
