Yes there are. Any number of external forces could stop the flow, geopolitical, economic or other. Internally, there are too and in fact one is about to commence, that being the Letter T situation, resulting in stoppage, but for now, AAG is metering a handful monthly.

The time frames you represent are simply present estimates and that is fact.

We've got issues here, schedules and reserve rules need to be improved, as a start. But it's a lot better now than it was last year. I expect that trend to continue as long as the shortage of pilots pressures management to value the employees they have more.

What's the junior lineholder EMJ DFW?

Get over the flow, it will work as aag wants it to work.
You folks are not changing anything.
Any dumb shi+ wants to come here for flow, feel free, just don't bi+ch like Bruce Jenner.

Yeah man that sucks. I've been there, commuting out of one base to another...not fun. At the end of the day I'm young enough to put up with it and I know the light at the end of the tunnel is bright. To each their own, maybe my tolerance for putting up with bs is higher then most, but I'm happy with my lot in life and the career path I'm on.

In addition to the previously mentioned "other" factors, the T pilots are making their presence known. They have selected zero pilots this month for the flow, and we should likely expect zero to minimal selections for the remainder of the summer.
