I can see the opinion that a 15k hour ca may be more inclined to be more difficult to mold to the new SOPs, but viewing your typical younger rj CA/LCA, who’s showed continued improvement and progression as untrainable..?

My own anecdotal evidence still shows legacy classes being filled with rj CAs/LCAs. Obviously this well will begin to dry up, so yes, requirements will continue to shift - degree, pic, etc. But to state as fact that RJ fo to ULCC fo is the better way to a legacy isn’t supported at all.
