Does anyone in the US know of any major airlines/regionals that offer cadet pilot training in the US ?
Any info would be much appreciated.

In a word, no not really. However, quite few aviation schools have lead-ins with carriers, the most prominent of which is Comair. Pan Am apparently has an agreement to interview PAIFA instructors at 600/100, a couple of colleagues have done this and gone straight into the ERJ. Airnet also apparently likes PAIFA people as well. If you dont mind taking four years, Go to a university that has an internship agreement with an airline. Mesa takes 300/25 graduates of its college program straight into the CRJ. United takes CFIs with about 1000TT that have interned with them during Uni, sans interview. Be aware though, if you are not a US citizen or a GC holder, forget it.
