it never was flowthru (at least not at 9e). More of a preferential hiring/interview thing. Seems like most of the "crj transition" courses or whatever they are called now(jetU, riddle,ATP and the like) seems to have kept Gulfstream pretty quiet. You can pay 20k or whatever and have to fly in an airline environment for a few months before getting on at a jet regional (gulfstream), or you can pay 20k at the crj transition and go straight to a jet regional....so the gulfstream route, if they still have it anywhere, is slower these days.
