And if you wanna talk about getting on with AA specifically, your chances at getting on outside of the flow without being military are pretty slim anyway. In 2017, AA hired a whopping 60 pilots that weren't prior military or flows. So yes, if you're banking 100% on the flow getting you to AA, then you've got a long wait ahead of you. But flying at Envoy and keeping the flow in your back pocket will do you no extra harm or extra good at getting you to one of the other majors more so than flying for any regional. Now, the flow may not be a the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for someone hired today, but saying that the flow is in any way a negative thing to have is absurd.
