ATP does not encourage ANYWHERE (at least where I have read and where I instruct) to skip being a CFI, take the RJ course and go to 121. ATP does not have the ability to force people into being a CFI, but it is strongly encouraged. Clearly the market isnt going to support low time Regional FO's anymore, so that "problem" is going to solve itself, and everybody will be better off. It just seems to be different criticism of ATP at every turn by self appointed "yoda's" that seem to resent the nature of the industry but take it out on the suppliers of the needs of that industry. Just looking for the logic, thats all.
