I think SHVC in post #25 has it right.
The fact that they don't identify the aircraft type or company suggests it is some kind of ball busting exercise to keep a lid on local wages and conditions.
Also, have they cleared this program with the relevant immigration authority?
The Yanks are very picky about who they allow in on work visas.
Should it prove to be kosher, a candidate would need to consider carefully whether the investment in relocation costs and two years minimum service living below subsistence level would eventually be repaid by being welcomed into a better airline job.
Meantime if our local airlines do start hiring again in the next two years, those pilots who hang in here could get lucky and jump ahead of those who venture offshore anyway.
The only good thing I see here is if the offer to pay for training by the employer does prove to be true and with no other string attached than two years return of service.
As always, caveat emptor.
