No. That stuff is icing, not cake. A few kids will get called with no TPIC on a lottery system (several possible reasons for that, but nobody really knows at least who's telling), but anyone older will need TPIC. At least right now. If they run out of people with TPIC to hire at mainline, while still keeping the feeders flying, they might start hiring based on whole person, minus TPIC.
