If anyone could get a flow done with multiple partners it would be SkyWest. This guaranteed interview was in their back pocket for a while, you could tell they were holding it only to realize how bad the attrition was getting and whipped it up so fast they still don’t know the details.

Nope, admittedly I'm new. But I still stand by my statement that flow is not worth much, if anything at all. Putting aside the idea of screwing up and making yourself less attractive to get hired, I am of the opinion that a good pilot putting in the effort can get hired quicker than waiting around for flow. And even though I'm a noob, I still believe that pay and QoL are better than sitting on your hands waiting for flow to move you to the big leagues.

Like I said you’re new. SkyWest isn’t having attrition issue with legacy hiring, they’re having issues with LCC and legacy hiring combined. It’s too much attrition to keep up.
Oh and a week ago SouthWest announcement had them hiring 1370 pilots in 2022. So they’ve joined the party.
You do realize attrition not being controlled will have you on the street right? It’s a compounding effect, you start losing so many pilots senior pilots get nervous and start updating their apps. That’s literally happening as we speak and it’s exactly why SkyWest management got caught off guard with these massive attrition numbers. What makes matters even worse is when they come out with an insulting GPI program and oh btw “we’re cutting 15% of the flying because all of our Captains are leaving”.
