In a stand-alone battle you can set the buy up to allow zero, or a specific number of flights, or the default (XXX). Long campaigns always use XXX.

And transport helos are not restricted by flight numbers, so long as the buying side have at least the one flight point remaining.

In any case 10,000 points is not "low points" - especially in say the 1970s and earlier! (10K/205=> almost 50 early model Chieftains). The pick list determinant for a strike or a transport helo buy is usually more like 2-3000 buy points remaining.
