FLAIR decreases the massive negative pressure generated during inspiration,that is thought to help tear vessels; and lasix decreases the exercise-induced rise in pulmonary vasculature pressure. Best to reduce pressure on both sides of the aveolar/capillary interface, in order to protect it.
Plus, FLAIR seems to just help them get more air flow - like a human wearing a Breath-right strip

You kinda did, but not really.
