Interesting. I can't really see how CX management is willing to be bought out for a cadet. However, anything is possible. If indeed this rumor turn out to be true, CX better start house cleaning otherwise the liabilities from a crash due to a under qualfied pilot would be insanely huge (counting the punitive damages of course).
Still I can't really see this happen since the selection process should be a panel decision and not made by a sole person. Even if the cadet manage to be buy his/her way into the flight training portion, he or she will most likely be washed out anyway by the flight instructors.
