A lot of us flow because we want to work at AA and the flow is how you do it as a civilian.
It appears most of the WO pilots wait for AA because they coincedentally become competitive for the majors after the 5-7 yr mark in time. They realize they can simply step into AA rather than go anywhere else. Many live in AA bases already. And, they are VERY aware of the attrition at AA.
It is a very compelling reason to wait for the flow for those hired 5-7 yrs ago. I totally get it.
Five and more years flying an ancient 145 in the northeast makes them very experienced aviators.
