At my regional I've flown with several First Officers recently that have notified me that they are newly qualified, but also already have a class date at a major. Literally just checking the boxes after being hired at a 121 regional was all that was needed for these former military pilots, including ones whose last assignment was a desk. I'd say it is a pretty effective approach.
