Absolutely ask a recruiter. And I've personally known about 10 envoy pilots, CAs and FOs both, that have been hired outside of the flow. They varied from former interns, former military pilots, minorities and females. These are the big things that help your app get noticed. And AA is very big on volunteer work too. Anyone who says that just because you're at a WO you have no chance of getting to AA outside of the flow is simply wrong.
