PSA and PDT will stay the same, give or take 2-3 pilots per month. My guess is 15-17 OTS pilots per month in 2017. A lot will/can change by the time your number is up for flow, regardless of which wholly owned you go to. Supposedly PDT is around 5-7 years.
Envoy flow will decrease but not after the whole 824 are gone. Once the last E-175 shows at envoy (around march-may), then the next group of flow will have 50% or 25 pilots whichever is lower (group called Protected Pilots). At the end of the year 50% will have to be Envoy guys. The protected pilots starts after the pilot 824 has flow and finish on the last guy from 11/11/2011 hire.
It will take about 3.5 more yrs before the flow goes down to 25% or 15 pilots (I believe that's the number of flow after protected pilots, not sure). Once that group is done (Nov 2011 hires, until Dec2014), then it will be close the same to PSA/PDT.
