If I were the VP / Flow at MajorAir, and I used that to fill my slots, leaving MyRegional unable to staff their flights and deliver customers to the MajorAir hub, there'd be a fight in the CEO's office about the problem.
Plus, why would I take a Flow-Dude with problems over somebody from No-FlowExpress with better credentials. If the flow process didn't flush Flow-Dude out, then training probably would. (Yes, there are exceptions, but they are few. Think Continental 3407 - would you take their CA?).
Explain less employable. Are you referring to checkride failures, discipline issues, etc? I believe that at PSA, if you have a disciplinary action in your file, it will preclude you from flowing for a certain amount of time. But I have to double check that.
