If you are suggesting the airlines should pay for APS MCC and UPRT-A, I agree with you.
Ultimately the airlines will get the talent they pay for. If they want to select high caliber applicants from the available talent pool, rather than restrict themselves to the few who can self select thanks to the Bank of Mum and Dad, they will need to sponsor at least part of the required training.
But the ATOs also get the talent they pay for. If they want UPRT instructors with the combination of airline command and civilian aerobatic or military fast jet experience they may have to pay more than for a PPL instructor.
