Agree and disagree. Not many normal FOs even become a blip on the radar at the big 3 or FEDEX UPS. It takes extraordinary backgrounds and connections to get interviews. If your goal is Virgin or Frontier sure, no TPIC wouldn't be a show stopper. But for now and the next several years, banking on not needing TPIC and/or a 4 yr degree and going to a major is wishful thinking.
