I think it would be ideal if there weren't such a shortage of
Fresh meat these days. Let's face it, even PSA would struggle to hire if they didn't have plenty of pilots coming from other 121 carriers.
So your right, it would be ideal if everything else was ideal. Right now though, they want to keep their regionals staffed. Major staffing will never be an issue.
This is why flows don't work. Ask my friends here at envoy who waited 16 years to flow after they were told they would be there in 3 years. Even now, our flow has once again stalled. There is always a reason.
