That might be what they publish, but the truth is it wouldn't be sustainable, they would have to hire from other regionals.
The best way for American to deal a blow to their competition is to hire the talent away from other regionals, not destroy their own regional. One could look at the flow as a management tool to control the attrition rate of departing regional pilots. One could also theorize that regionals without any flow agreement would move through the hiring system the fastest.
