 Without the Ah, it's a gamble. Generally, you've got the best hand, but why go AI. I would try to milk it a little slower.

In this hand, after your AI, you gotta think a Call has you beat. Otherwise, I would expect everyone to fold their hands. So, I'm surprised you got two callers. When I see the Button reraise, I know I'm beat.

I don't think it's a bad play, just risky without the nuts.

 How many players? Is this 5NL or 10NL? At 10NL I call the minbet.
Flop shove is really bad. raise to 2.5, and get it in by the turn. You have 3 streets to put your stack in!!
The only reason I'm trying to get it in here by the turn is to milk flushdraws. I would raise less than usual, because I want both to stay in and I want them to face a tough decision on the turn. You could even make it just $2

What the flop push accomplishes is, you make it easier for hands that you beat to lay it down - which is infinitely worse than paying off the nuts.
I wouldn't be to concerned with protecting against a set or the A, and a more moderate bet gets the job done also. Check pokerstove when in doubt.

 You want to get as much money in as possible on the flop because you don't want a fourth heart to kill your action on the turn. I'd raise the flop to $3 and shove the turn. If someone else flopped the nut flush, you got coolered.

btw, you really should be specifying how many people are at the table and what the stakes are.

All three went all in? that's a huge pot.
Two callers after you... you might have been beat.
