I hope I'm wrong but betting on flow agreements in my experience makes as much sense as betting on upgrade due to proposed aircraft orders.
If your argument is anything can happen, then yes I agree. Sure, if something awful happens that prevents the majors from hiring even with record retirement numbers, yeah you won't flow. But you also won't be hired off the street, as they aren't hiring.
If your argument is "the flow doesn't work, look at what happened to the guys in 2000," I think that's disingenuous. The flow has always worked, AA just has to hire.
