No cadet pilots have yet been trained in the way you suggest. Direct entry FO's often have other experience that makes them more rounded than the current cadets. This often takes the form of flying instructing, air taxi and flying bank documents around in piston twins. If you ask me there is no substitute for grass roots flying experience and the whole Fug thing no longer delivers on that front. Doing office jobs is Cov or even Sweden just doesn't quite cut it, though Ops experience is useful.
