Get a 4 year degree. Become a line check airman. If your record is clean, then nothing is going to stop your career progression.
AA street hires are non-existent, so they are not a fair comparison. But we have at least 5 that I know of go to Southwest straight from Mesa. One just went to FedEx straight from Mesa. And I know of a few Delta interviews.
If UA’s numbers are correct for next year, expect some to go there direct also.
