Don't know yet. Right now, the most recent flows went at 5.2 years from date of hire. Current rate of flows is 10-14 a month, but if we ever get to vote on PBS implementation, that number will increase. Too early to know right now what will happen with Spirit. It says somewhere in the contract regarding flow that AA will run flows every month they run new hire pilot training. So as long as AA continues to run classes, even if 90% of the classes are Spirit hires, they should still be bound to flow the contractual minimum.
