Sounds about right. The less classes they do and the bigger they are, the smaller the flow presence because of how it's structured, so naturally they'll avoid doing classes as long as possible before "kicking it into high gear" with a few huge ones to devalue the flow as much as possible.

The question is, why don't they want to staff their regionals? Is this typical AA mismanagement? Compare with Delta where the flow is recognized as the most powerful recruiting tool at the regional level and DALPA is expected to resist.
