Don't look at the DECS number. It doesn't really mean a thing.

I haven't been seeing flow announcements recently, so I don't know how many flowed in each class. Were there 2 or 3 flow classes captured in this 30 day seniority adjustment? I haven't heard of any major developments that increased it.

3 in the double digits were probably retirements. That just reminds me to raise a glass for those careers wasted at The Envoy.

So, between #1000 and the bottom of the list, there were 14 spots. I know a couple that went to bigger and better places. A couple more probably just went to other places. I also know a couple who were told not to come back.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. GTFO.

I understand what you mean about the DECS number being a bit inflated. But I was looking at the difference between my current number and my previous number. Assuming there was the same amount of bloat in each number (and if anything, there would be less bloat on the later figure), there wasn't that much more change than flow. Downside of advancing seniority, the movement gets slower the closer you get.

No. That's not how this works. DECS number is off by whatever. It does not mean a thing. Flow plan is accurate the day it is published.

Sooo, you're saying the amount that DECS is off from the previous number to the amount DECS is off from the current number is wildly different then?

DECS is whatever. Who cares about those numbers. Literally nothing is done based on them. Pay bands, flow dates etc are based on actual, not DECS, seniority numbers.

Hard fact:
From 15th of November to 13th of December, #1024 moved to #980. That is 44 numbers, in just under a month.

Cool. I m senior to that. Probably why I m seeing smaller difference.

That date range should include an AA class on November 18th and December 2nd. How many flows were in those two classes? The flows are not always equally divided between classes.
