From Der Fuhrer Rik:
The flow that isn't working has sent 30 this month, and you can see the expectation for more.
2.5 and 6? I dunno. But things are starting to move.
American projects that it will need close to 300 pilots from Envoy this year, with a requirement of 120 pilots within the first 120 days. This flow-through, coupled with our recent announcements of additional flying for American that will keep our total fleet count stable for 2016, means more than 200 Captain upgrade opportunities at Envoy and 350 pilot new hires. In fact, a pilot joining Envoy today is currently projected to upgrade to Captain in two and a half years – and flow to American in a little over five years from hire.

One of our revolving door of Chief Pilots noticed me still wearing my Eagle Wings and said:
"I see you're still wearing your Eagle Wings and Tie?"
Me: "yep."
Him: "Were you issued new Envoy stuff?"
Me: "yep."
Him: "Can I ask you to wear them?"
Me: "yep."
We stared at each other for a couple seconds and he knew what I meant.
I'll wear my Eagle Wings for four more months, and put them away so my grandkids can find them some day. A part of my life that while I'm proud of our group and what we did, I don't want to live it again.

Things aren't moving any faster then months ago for upgrades and for flows, this latest blast indicates it too will slow from present.

Word is they're withholding while overstaffed with zero-time lines. Couple that with continuing to claim an upgrade that can only be described as unrealistic considering the number of F/O's that would have to upgrade in the 18 months past 2016 should be a red flag.
