he upside for the cadet is a career path without having to p*ss around in GA, no matter what anyone says (having flown with many 200 hour jet pilots) these cadets will make fine airline pilots. Interesting times ahead, it is about time this part of the world caught up.
And these graduates will become automatic pilot monkeys for the rest of their career which is just what the jet transport manufacturers and airline managements want in the first place. Pure flying skills considered unnecessary.
