You’re so incredibly wrong and insist on doubling down on your complete and utter BS that is blows my mind.
Removing the ATP requirement for FOs or lowering the requirements for the ATP itself would only make a difference for the pilots who are CURRENTLY between their commercial and their first airline job. Once you exhausted that pool you’re right back to where we are right now. Nothing changes if you don’t increase the number of people who WANT to be airline pilots.
The problem is that nobody WANTED to be an airline pilot in the first place, because of the garbage pay which meant you’d be paying off that expensive cost of entry for a loooong time. The way to increase the number of people who want to become airline pilots is to increase the payoff, not institute changes that would lead to a reduced payoff, which is why we’re in this position in the first place!
