The only difference at a WO is you have a garunteed spot in a new hire class at American in which the remaining non flow spots are few and extremely competitive to obtain. It's not like you go to a WO just to flow. It just so happens that they have a flow on top of the best pay and fast upgrades. I really couldn't see how someone could justify not choosing one unless they live where it would be a difficult commute.
