Hello Starskate
This program is one of the few in the industry that pays full training for CPL, IR, Multi-engine rating. Moreover it pays your tickets and accommodation at the flight school for the duration of the course, which is 61 weeks. After graduation, you get a placement to the pilot roster as a second officer in long-haul flights (B744,B777,A340). You log P2X hours for at least 3 years, until you become Junior First Officer. The salary is better than 25k/y from day one as a SO.
There are thousands applying but few take the position. So let's say that this program is an exeption on how men and women become pilots in this part of the world. Another reason on why there is a lot of activity on the web about this program is because they accept candidates from all over the world. Only Cathay Pacific and Etihad offer full cadetship to international candidates at the moment.
