It is the first I have heard of a us airline paying for training outside of the airline, since the '60's. If you are an ERJ-145 capt, you can make $12K/month NET, with EVERY possible expense paid for. Those jobs used to be non-commuting, but now it's as good as 6 wks on/3 wks off, as the overseas hiring crunch is getting more and more serious every day.
