Recalls coupled with the removal of the domestic / international fence are going to limit the amount of pilots AA needs to hire in the short term.

The way I see it flow deals are only good for guys who bust multiple rides or get in disciplinary issues and are not hireable anywhere but their flow destination.
Actually at PDT they can't stop the Flow for recalls. We will be brought in right along with them. So this has no barring on our flow. But the best part of the flow is it has allowed our upgrade to continue to drop. Thus allowing pilots to upgrade, get PIC time and go to the airline of there choice.

I'm not saying that PDT is the place to come too. But it not the place everyone is avoiding now either.
