Point Flush Shoot

[Recon]

So I am just curious why are GSP's not trained to flush? Ok so I am sure that is a real rookie question but I was thinking 1. GSP finds bird 2. He now locks up on point and stays steady 3. I give him some wild command and he flushes the bird 4. I shoot and either miss or if I am lucky knock it down. It all seems so simple yet I have NEVER read any book or seen any video that would lead me to believe this idea is truly sane. Any ideas as to why people don't train this way? Well I guess I just described a pointing Lab didn't I. Still would love some other opinions.

My opinion is to keep from shooting the dog. Pheasants usually fly off higher where quail seem to fly low. Not necessarily you would shoot your dog, but inexperienced hunters with you might. In my opinion it is best to keep the dog out of the shooting equation.
