While I think flow is great for regional new hires, it has been doing a huge disservice to OTS folks. AA does not interview or screen anyone that woke for these regional flows. All it seems you need is a pulse to get hired on at one of these flowing regionals. Yet OTS folks have extreme screening requirements.. almost impossible to get a call even with 10 times the variety and value of qualifications.
