The post you originally replied to was where I said if AA is hiring 660 a year, Envoy will then flow 13.75 a month. Or 15 a month if they hire 720 a full year. The only way the catchup works is if they drastically ramp up their hiring mid year, but it's not relevant to any of the scenarios that were discussed.
And what management is doing, let's just say, don't hold your breath on that happening.

You never claimed the beer. It's on me, just lmk.
it's all nitpicking really as the contract discusses the minimums they have to flow and specifies they can always flow more at their discretion.
Just pointed out the "calendar year" that snuck into the DOS language.

Geography isn't very conductive for a beer, but I'd gladly buy a round or two also. Good luck at the new gig!

I think we’ll still see mid seniority attrition, but if the upgrade classes can keep up, i think they’ll flow all they can because it’s the only shot they have of tricking 23 year olds into coming here
this has been done to death. People still stay, and people still come.

If AA hires zero for the next 10 years, how many will Envoy flow? Answer - Anyone who speculates that is an idiot.

All the majors, AA included, are starting to hire balls to the wall, by this fall. And they will have to sustain it for mandatory retirements and even very modest growth. You can speculate all you want.

exactly, the market will push them to want to make the flow better and more attractive as a means to keep their regionals staffed.
The three MEC’s need to get their act together on this before it’s too late.

There are those who have tried to encourage the 3 MECs to work together for a long time. And the 3 MECs all have their own interests, vulnerabilities, and pilots to look out for. Truthfully I think the 3 pilot groups should push for integration. Collectively, it would give them much more security and bargaining power to be a bigger entity.

Lol I was hired at PSA November 2016 and have at least 2-3 years left before flow.

There’s probably more than a few line pilots that would be ok with this.

2/3 of the redundant WO regional management will end up on the street eventually if we did something like that. Shareholders would love it probably. I'm shocked AA hasn't already done it but it seems like the only thing they're good at now is selling miles.

When you’re basically making minimum wage, you do what you have to. It is pretty shameful.
