AAG can not do that without the approval of the APA, that's why. The APA isn't giving numbers away for free, nor would anybody expect them to.

The flow is what will allow them to continue to attract and poach pilots from other regionals. If their flow doesn't work, they'll have to eventually raise pay and working conditions to draw pilots. For the Legacy, its free to just make hiring come from their regionals only. They will likely eventually do exactly that. Currently, AA is not taking any street hires and the only way to AA is from one of the two flow programs, and 1 interview program. They say street hires will resume next year.... we'll see.

How??? Is American the only airline hiring? If the stop the flow we are doomed??? Lol
Ask a US Airways WO'ed pilot how many were hired from ALG, PDT or PSA back in the day. You were only lucky person if they hired you.
Flow ends so what.... Tons of jobs for everyone.
