3 groups but one is fully gone now so 2 left, and no, it's not less and less. It's 20 a month and likely to go up to 21 later this year, depends on the size of the pilot group (and the 25%, but based on AA's predictions that won't be the limiting factor). No contractual language to slow it down.

Didn't mean to make it sound like it wasn't a good deal, it is pretty good. When I said there's no chance of it increasing, that was a little misleading. Because it is linked to the size of the pilot group, it currently is unlikely it will increase anytime soon because the pilot group would need to increase by about 130 pilots or so. They aren't growing and are only really hiring to cover attrition. If you mean that 6 pilots per month isn't many, you need to look at it in terms of a ratio of flows per month versus the size of the seniority list. PDT is pretty small so the lower number per month evens it out. That said, someone hired today isn't going to flow in a super short amount of time, so look at all your options and I think some people here have expressed some solid opinions on the flow being in your back pocket if you need it, but try to get hired somewhere prior.

Flow assumes AA is hiring. But now that most of our attrition is to other airlines, we have a ton of movement even without the flow.
