Big difference.
How so? There’s already cadets flight instructing and then goto a Wholly owned which then eventually flow to mainline AA.

The only difference in this program is it offers an option to finance your license without the need to go through a full degree course.

They’re just buying themselves more time keeping the regional feed on life support as it gets prospective guys through a couple years earlier, as well as maybe catching a few more people that wouldn’t have otherwise been able to afford flight training and didn’t want to go through an overpriced degree course.
