Come on man, it was just a shot across the bow. Can't we all just get along?
PG makes a good point. The APA system could also result in a constant training churn as well, I would think, and make training costs difficult to pin down. Flexibility always comes w/ a cost.
Back in 2007 when we were hiring full bore, there were AE's up pretty much quarterly as I remember.
I think a nice mid-point between AE's and APA might be allowing monthly bids and conversions for same equipment in the system in order to staff 'shoulder months' as SD likes to say, better depending on the base.
