"Avia Solutions Group, managing one of the largest pilot centres in Eastern Europe BAA Training, has already entered several preliminary confidential contracts with large carriers to train a number of the so called substitute pilots. These companies are ready to cover the cost of training new pilots for several years."

Or could it be a ruse to help separate budding pilots from their hard earned cash? It might fill desperate cadets' eyes with rose petals, but not captains, and the plan needs both. Could it be a ruse to boost the short-term cash flow of a training centre.
