An overstaffed situation will never happen again at this airline. The slow in flow may allow us to catch up a little bit, but we will never be in the same ballpark as being overstaffed. Too much growth and training issues.

If he's getting at us sending extra flows cuz of the slowdown in AA hiring...a couple years ago we flowed the minimum and at the same time were offering zero time lines. If we didn't flow extra then, I would be EXTREMELY surprised if we ever did. I'd of course love to be surprised on that front, but I just don't see it happening - it would be a massive philosophy change from management.

So what? Jan 2016 and a few months after that we had more than 40% of the airline on reserve, also had zero and part time lines, many reserves flew 0-10 hours/mo (I know because I was one of them), and you guys still metered the flow. Are you saying our staffing will look better than that in November and December?

If AA continues the trend of no hiring for a couple of months, followed by an extremely large class, I'd say they're purposely doing it to limit the flow. At that point I think you'd see hiring slow down at Envoy and attrition spike, as guys realize the flow is being manipulated and not worth counting on. Time will tell.
