There are some pretty big loopholes in those flow agreements.
What is the definition of "hired"?
We might see "conditional offers of employment". Does that count as a "hire"?
What if they hire 200 guys in one month with class dates spread into the future?
What do the flow numbers look like in that case?

If they hire 100 in a month (they have done that before) then you still only get a max of 12 Pinnacle guys. That leaves a lot of room for Mil or other types. They could easily do one class of 100 through indoc and then space out the initial aircraft training as the pipeline allows.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I still have been updating the application weekly for the past few years. Luckily I'm in a good place to hang out in the meantime while hoping for opportunity. All the DL pilots have been great when commuting and said similar words. It's just hard when you see all the agreements and how little hiring is needed for the next year.
