I think that airlines are now looking for High quality airmen with 0 employment costs
Do you really think this is compatible? Airlines will soon be looking for pilots able to clean the lavatories to save some more money and it seems they would still have candidates ready to go for it.
I would like to ask you a question: Would you be fine with your mother receiving surgery from a "MPL" surgeon (0 real life experience/0 cost)?
Airlines are simply looking for the most economic alternatives. This doesn't mean it's airworthy and that wannabees have to take everything. Loads of experienced professional pilots are looking for a job, do you think it's technically logical to train brand new pilots to fly airliners?
