You do know that this means you can't get hired the old fashioned way either, yes? If AA isn't running new-hire classes, NOBODY becomes a new hire at AA, through flow or any other way. Same as if Delta, United or any other airline stops running classes because of a training backlog. Even the "friends and family program" applicants can't get a class date. Get your panties out of a wad.
