I do believe that honestly, these will in the future provide the best chance of employment for wannabes in the low houred market......They mean less risk to the airlines
They provide the best chance of a low-hour job now, never mind in the future. And the least risk for an airline is to hire a pilot with a TR and experience on type. If we see a recession the weaker airlines will shed pilots and some may even go bust. That would mean the few airlines (if any) who may still want to recruit would be able to pick from all those experienced and current jet/TP pilots who all of a sudden are desperately seeking employment.
The mentored schemes are good news during times of peak airline hiring, such as the last few years, but they will be amongst the first things to go should the economy hit the buffers.
