Yes, AA has two classes of 40 in September and there are 20 flows from Envoy that will be in the second September class. AA will have two classes a month of 45 (90 total per month) in October through December and Envoy will have 20 flows in class each month. How the flows will be distributed each month hasn’t been released yet.
Flows aren’t the only people to leave Envoy. August had almost 60 resignations, no flows. Class sizes at Envoy have been limited by management displacing all the 145 sim instructors back to the line and almost all of them chose to go to the 175 when they did. They have been struggling to get enough instructors since then.
