I second this post. In my opinion the only pilots who will truly benefit from the flow will be your 20 somethings with no degree or those types with a skeleton in their closet who would otherwise get passed over by the majors.
I'm applying everywhere just to see what happens, but AA is at the bottom of my list of where I'd like to end up. If the flow actually stays in place, I believe you will see a lot of types in class at AA who otherwise wouldn't be qualified to work at the majors.
