LOLwut?
How does a flow or lack of flow have anything to do with that?
They are concerned with very low time pilots (some who never upgraded anywhere) being Captain and flying with new hires. So they're giving more OE to be extra cautious.
The other airlines are going to be dealing with the exact same thing soon too. They're just a year or three behind with their mergers and upgrades.
