I can tell you exactly what is going to happen the first time they do not have enough people going through upgrade.

Let us be pragmatic, shall we not? As soon as there are not enough people willing to upgrade, the junior manning will begin in earnest. We might see advertisement for street captains by then, but if it came down to it, they will bend every company rule up to the letter of the law itself (the FAA) if it should ever affect the bottom dollar that we could make - whether it be ethical or not.

Ethics and SkyWest is kinda like Jumbo Shrimp, Military Intelligence, etc. you get the point.

Some folks who bypass upgrade do it for QOL, other know they are not ready, and a few will never be ready. Risky business.
You'd also have to reinstate "up or out", to motivate the draftees to succeed in training.
It will be ugly when it comes.
