In Europe many Legacy/Loco carriers are taking cadet pilots from the Training Colleges with a Twin Rating CPL/IR and ATP exams completed with total 250 ish hours.
They then complete a normal Company 737/A320 Type Rating and aircraft Base Training.. Extensive Route Training, in my UK airline at least 50 sectors u/t before being released as F/O on two crew ops..
BA and EasyJet in UK been doing this with complete safety for a number of years.
There is now no large ex Military or GA background in Europe to supply Capt Sullys as new copilots!!
