Or regionals simply hire for CA's, with the clear expectation that upgrade is mandatory at X level of experience. Then apply reasonably high standards, and terminate those who fail, and those who "fail".
Skywest used to do that, the termination part. So did AA mainline... they actually had a mandatory upgrade requirement for a long time.
A business can do that, if necessary for staffing. Nuclear power plants rotate all ops workers through rotating shifts, so everybody does days, swings, and nights in rotation. That prevents the otherwise inevitable situation of having all the experienced people on the day shift, with amateur night on the backside.
