What is the flow guarantee to American? And does the recent SOC effect it at all?

at current staffing, we're supposed to get mini 3 flows per month that AAG hires (for lus or laa) rectified by end of year
straight seniority, no holdbacks
goes up to 4/month at a certain staffing number (dont recall off hand, 400 something)

Math says that = roughly 8 years to flow, but earlier people said 4-6 for new hires? Wishful thinking?

Might need the number to that truck driving school here soon.

Adding 20 airframes adds 3 to our flow number monthly, so if you're hired today and we go to 6 a month, how long would it take you to flow?

Now lets hope we can find pilots for those added 20 airframes. 4 a month surely won't do it.

There are pilots leaving foe other places than the AA/US flow.

Whatever the upgrade rate is currently would be my guesstimate of the flow spots advancing thru the seniority. 8 per month these last 4 months would take 4.5 Years to eat through 350 names since about 50 most senior are bypassing.

This is just a wild guess. Also, the flow goes up from 3 to 4, 5, 6 etc for each 120 additional pilots in the list.

Sir, you are proving quite well why you would never fit in here, or anywhere for that matter. Clearly the Dash requires more thought and skill than you can possibly handle...
