They aren't putting them straight into training, but they are recruiting guys earmarked to go into training after the minimum amount of time on line.
Desert Hawk,
The comment wasn't that there is something wrong with line pilots for not wanting to train, but simply that as not enough guys want to, there really can't be too many complaints about recruiting guys who do.
Of course, making the role more attractive to existing pilots might ALSO have been an option, but..err..who do,we work for again??
