Are you talking about the JQ cadetship? That’s seperate to mainline recruitment.
If you did the JQ program you wouldn’t be stuck there forever, 1500hrs as an Airbus FO and you can apply to mainline, or meet the minimums for QR or EK among others. Some JQ (and QLink) cadets have already done this so hardly “stuck there”. Outside of some Australian airlines no one cares about PIC time for non DE positions, especially if that PIC is on a lightie.
We can argue about the specific of the JQ contract but I think most would agree if that’s your first aviation job you’re not doing too badly.
