Yes, not as good a deal as going to the RCAF and getting free flight training and an F18 to play with but . . .
But for more mortal pilots, cost of going from zero to an unemployed (unemployable?) Comm/multi/IFR these days is around $45,000-$53,000 (for the flying courses only)
With this scheme I believe it includes room & board during the training, a B1900 Type Rating, and a clean job with career path for at least the next 4 years.
Sounds like a pretty good value to me!
