flyboyike,

Yep...no debate there. Details are scant but a US carrier with an ab initio program is a first to my knowledge.

And they haven't yet said how they'll handle this part:

"After completing the first several phases of training, the pilot trainee will accumulate 1,500 hours of flight time required for the issuance of an unrestricted ATP..."

Maybe in cahoots with Cape Air or something similar ?

And there's this:

"...candidates build experience and training at their own expense..."

Should be interesting to see what the whole deal looks like.
