Basically it was to get staff before they had developed too many bad habits that would be expensive to remove. Bad habits that time in GA develops.
exactly my point.
It's not a new concept Lufthansa, British, SQ and many others either do it that way or have a similar system.
Has the old QF system gone off the rails???
JAL at one time seriously considered ab initio training to CPL in B747s, apart from the cost why not, it's just another (biggish maybe, but what the heck) aircraft.0
If you have never flown anything else how would you know the difference and they can teach you whatever habits they want.
First solo would be interesting,
but why, in any event the guy is never ever going to fly it solo.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to fly an aircraft, any aircraft, just the appropriate education and training.
