Don't ask questions man, that makes you dangerous! Just go with the flow
I'm with you though it doesn't make any sense why a profit generating entity would do that to itself when it could hire off the street from elsewhere. Then the benefit is two fold: the company keeps its cheap regional feed staffed with just enough bait to hire and retain labor, and also poaches labor from contract companies (i.e. non WO'd regionals) that also happen to support their competition.
I think people put WAY too much stock in this flow thing. Go out and get that college degree, build flight experience, volunteer, network, and do all of those things that have led you to believe that you suck so bad at adulting that you need a no interview "flow" to get to a career destination. Become a well rounded person that people admire and actually want to work with on a four day trip.
