I have to disagree. A bunch of people just flowed to AA. They weren’t stifled from going anywhere else, they just couldn’t get on. I know the majors were all hiring, but there were still only 2-3000 spots per year at the peak, and that’s just not enough for everyone who wants one. Having flow as a backup is not worthless. Hundreds of WO pilots a year got to the majors using it and there’s no guarantee they could have gotten on when they did without it. Quite the opposite in fact.
