Bearcat has it right.
There are different streams and quite a lot of the time they don't mix.
The modular guys tend to get the jobs that aren't advertised and involve a fair bit of networking. Once you have 500 hours on a multicrew aircraft it doesn't matter how you trained.
The issue is that one stream is wanting a bit of action that was traditionally the other streams way in. In the main all that has meant is more paper in the bucket.
And it is to be seen if its expansion or just fleet replacement.
