Soon, none thank goodness....
it's never made any sense, except to the management bean counters, to put low time newbies into a jet airliner carrying pax....
take a 135 job hauling boxes as PIC and learn to fly first. There was a time when IOE was to orient a new hire to the specific methods of that airline and to provide "tips" on the specific airframe.... now we see newbies with 100 hours of IOE still learning to fly.

He's still got time. Seniority is everything in this business. Get a seniority number somewhere and then start working on college. Although, if I had to do it again, I would have done college first. But that wasn't in the cards for me.

True only if you're doing the oral and practical with that airline. A buddy of mine had his written done, got on with AWAC and 4 years later went to do his ATP at "All ATPs." Turns out he had to do the written again.
