Pretty much. However, some of the CPP's that interviewed recently and have been "accepted to move on" don't have a degree.

The others that are left may be unhirable by the majors. Again, many reasons. I'm not talking about the guys that have apps out and actively applying--low time and building.

The issue is, the "average" RJ CA that checks all the basic qualification boxes is, well, in the LARGEST applicant pool/silo of "average".

I don't think doubling first year pay will help very much.e will see how the end game plays out over the next couple of years.
Well, have you heard of the CPP at UAL? What an amazing concept.
