The “street to hero” programs not only require a degree, but they are the highest qualified applicants at 141 university programs. Not exactly the bottom of the barrel.
Dreaming? This is happening now. Who do you think make up the predicted retirements? Military. When the military can’t put out as much as majors demand from expansion, plus retirement voids you get a minority very quickly.
The point is they started putting a lot of investment into these programs recently because they know they’ll have plenty of seats to fill. Requirements for ones that hold ATPs will go down.
