If I came up via an AA regional out if DFW, I presume I could still apply at another carrier such as SWA at DAL once I hit their mins in a couple years?
The flow is a "guaranteed" job, not a guaranteed interview. Quotes used because such flow programs have a very mixed history of reliability (by mixed I mean 90% bad). But they seem to be tracking well so far in today's hiring boom.
You can apply anywhere else, at any time. There may be training bonds associated with bonuses or RW to FW transition programs, but you could pay those off if you thought seniority at a major would be a better trade for the cash.
