This isn't a new scheme, its been running for quite a few months, so obviously there have been people taking Sigmar up on their "offer". From the MYT pilots I spoke to though they weren't overly impressed with the calibre of FO being provided to them.

From MYT's point of you, you can't blame them from taking advantage of the situation to get some free FO's for the busy summer season - its not their responsibility to help low houred pilots to get jobs. Like the airlines who take CTC cadets for 6 months, they are just taking advantage of the fact people are prepared to work for free - or in this case pay to work.

Its a terrible situation that schemes like this exist, but there is no use blaming airlines or TRTO's or whoever for taking advantage of it - the only people to blame are those prepared to keep throwing money at aviation until they get a job.
