You think there’s not a line out the door for each major? If AA dropped flow to a trickle and increased OTS hiring they would do just fine. No one has a true flow except AA WO. So I just don’t see how this is a valid point.
Now I can see if they brought the flow to a trickle how they would have a harder time than ever getting new hires. This is because the flow is just a carrot. A carrot that keep wages low because they assign a quasi-financial benefit to it instead of an actual one.
