Ab-initio training should be covered by the cadet or treated as a loan that must be repaid. The type rating however should definetly be covered by the company as long as the pilot puts in the 12 years. You can't waive off the ab-initio after 12 years, because then, the company doesn't take the licence back, it's his/her (his in this case, but thats another topic) for life. It's hard enough to find a company who pays for your rating, you want some to pay for your whole training? why don't we get them to pay for our university degree as well.
