If your options are furlough with no job, or furlough with a guaranteed job as a senior captain at a regional, I would take the flowback every time. Especially because you would just flow back up later and keep your longevity, just like if you were furloughed.
Which would you rather have?

Wait, flow isn't working like you thought it would? Welcome to the airline world of bait and switch. These people taught Bernie Madoff everything he knows, Frank Lorenzo was just a copy-cat.

It's kind of funny but have you noticed those that are complaining about the flow programs are the ones that aren't part of one? That should tell you something.
Today at a regional you want Stability, Low Upgrade Times, Good Pay, Movement for QOL. American WO's offer all 3. If you don't want to go to American you don't have too. However if by chance you get turned down by United and Delta you still have a job for sure at the Worlds Largest Airline.
Yes I can see how someone not part of that Program might be envy.
