Im just curious what you think is going to happen once demand increases and the airlines literally do not have enough applicants with an ATP. Park planes? Recruit directly from aviation universities with "jet bridge" courses and CRM classes? Eagle and others are already having trouble filling classes as it is. I just see this creating an equally large problem. Is it just me? Seems like there is no clear solution. Not to mention this will make the career path of a pilot seem even more arduous thus attracting less qualified people.

Incidentally lets remember both pilots in the Colgan crash (what started this campaign) had well above ATP minimums but still couldn't react to a stall properly...
