Plenty of people do not go to a Regional with flow once they do a little research. The Regionals with flow usually have the worst pay and work rules. No reason to be miserable for 7 - 10 years (the true time it will take to flow for a new hire today) when the hiring market is expected to improve over the next few years unless there is something that stops it like a huge downturn or another 9/11 (another reason to go to a Regional with good pay and QOL).
