Unlike the good old days where the airlines requires just high school diploma and CPL/IR/ME are GONE!!!.
Plus when it comes to aviation everything is P2F, from PPL to CPL to ATPL, and paying to fly the B737 or the A320 is not forever, it is just to get the experience they need and no airline does any short cuts, regardless you have to go through a thorough training program, so stop spreading bogus info. No pilot will P2F forever.
