If bad flight placement was a big issue (and I don't know if it is or is not), it would seem like this would be fairly obvious over time, based on the standings at the end of seasons. I haven't seen this personally, but my visibility set is small; however, this is something for which there should be objective evidence, if it was a big problem.
FWIW, in my limited visibility, there has been more disparity in PSSLU than SoCal, but I think that's mainly just because they have less teams per area. I have no view on how much SoCal is being influenced by large clubs, but at least the flight placement for smaller clubs doesn't seem like a massive problem to me.
