There have been many hired that are fresh/newly minted CA’s.
All it took was the recency of a training cycle/upgrade (vs. the one that HASNT) to finally check a box/drive the app score to warrant and email for start of the selection process.

Incidentally, there are 20,000 regional pilots. Those that are FO and the newly upgraded CA would not be called well qualified for the majors. Remember, some CA (generally accepted as 2,000) are lifers, as well.

Of course the threshold for lifer can fluctuate with market conditions... and conditions at the regional in question.

Add all regionals plus military and the 20k number is very believable.
But I agree, it’s the same 20k. No one just applies to one or two legacies,anyone with any sense hits them all up.
