First of all Spoilers ahead
I think what's most frustrating to me is that they addressed what they saw as an obvious plot hole but the explanation created so so many new ones that it made the other flaw seem small in comparison. So plot flaw #1 They send the agents 33 days into the future to stop someone from dying, they get the message from the future. Time travel is a one way street they get to the future and stay there. So how do they get the info? Clearly they can send info back in time, since they can receive the info why not gather more data and just wait until the time is right? The answer is that your destiny is set so they have to do this in an alternate time line where it's not so set.
Do they send the agents to this alternate time line? If so each agent is single use because they are in a new time line separate from yours. That also means that the original time line the company is in, they ALWAYS fail. They cannot prove they have saved anyone who would ever sign on for that? You would have NO testimonials in that original time line. They have Dwayne Johnson as a testimonial but if they did his rescue in an alternate time line he is DEAD in this one, they explain that in their attempt to explain away the reason they send agents into the future. If someone came to me and tried to sell me on this and I said but have you saved anyone and they said sure in another time line I would laugh and not sign up. How did they get the testimonial in the first place if they do it in an alternate time line and cannot return? Was that the point of the fake story about the kid? If so why have the apparently fake testimonial? Why did she need a fake story they would be brimming with real amazing examples except for one thing, the examples are all in the alternate time line!!!!
Since they are sent 33 days into the future then given three days off afterwards that means each agent is unavailable for five weeks at a time. Not to mention they absolutely have to have been sent to an alternate time line, they do not grab the people and take them to another time line so they must already be in it.
Let's not ignore that as soon as the days off are up the agents get called in. What if there is a slow week and the 2nd agent goes in 3 days later they would always just be missing their significant other from then until the next slow period. It could be years before they see each other again so a married couple would not work in this job at all. That's assuming they always go to the same time line, that's a whole other massive plot hole right there!
How would the company ever know if they were successful? If the implant sends them info of the persons death in this time line you then send the agent to the new time line and save the person there, the one in the original time line always dies. How would you know your system worked all you would know is that each time you sent someone into the future they never came back (again they must be in the new time line they show them save several people and just walk away) the person they were sent to save still died in your time line and your agent is never seen by YOU again.
I have barely scratched the surface with the plot holes, are there now two of you in the new time line? If it's the same time line over and over they would fill up with copies of the agents quite fast! If it's a different time line each time you would certainly never see your wife again who would sign up for that! There would be a single time line of many miraculous saves and another time line the one sending agents where its always a failure. How would they say in business to keep sending agents, why are the police not looking for the (what must be hundreds of) missing employees by now! That's all from the one massive plot hole.
Because they do keep returning to the same base of operations it's clear that the agents do not actually go to an alternate time line or they would never know they saved anyone so did the guy lie to the woman? That would solve part of the problem but it then means they never needed to send anyone into the future in the first place. They painted themselves into a catch 22 with that one stupid sentence. They should have just said it did not work when we tried it that way but it does if we send them into the future we have no idea why. Just like I have no idea why they could not see the massive flaws.
