while getting a ppl helps in gaining aviation knowledge, it will rise their expectations substantially. Just because you hold a giant license doesnt mean much, as a matter of fact, if they sense any inadequacy from you being a PPL holder it might even hurt your chances.
KA as I heard is slightly more competitive than CX because they hire so little people. It takes them a few weeks to a few months to get back to you if you are invited.
