You've been saying this for a long time now. During that time, what has the evidence suggested?
Delta has reworked their SSP with Endeavor multiple times, and each time has not offered a true flow through. They have shown evidence that they will not give up the ability to interview their candidates first. Delta is notorious for hiring the right person to fit their culture, not just any pilot. So far they have kept their feed staffed with a union approved, retention bonus program, and it has worked.
United has done workshops and been telling potential candidates at job fairs that it is not looking to purchase a regional or offer a flow program. This information is straight from the mouth of the company. One of the largest regionals to feed United, Skywest, is pulling in more new hires that most regionals and is showing no signs of slowing down.
So again, I ask, what evidence do you have to suggest that the AA flow model will be adopted by Delta and United? The flow has been working at Envoy (and Piedmont) now for well over a year. Your predictions grow less credible the longer time goes on.
