This isn't million dollar training per person like an astronaut. It's the cost of doing business on their part. A measly $4-5 bucks on top of what 1st yr pay is at most regionals is not going to be felt to the point that they need to shut down.
Of course its a risk. A pilot with no prior 121 experience runs the risk of washing out of training. Also $4-$5 bucks on top may well shut a regional down. If the next regional is cheaper, they get the flying and your airline gets the middle finger. Just ask the Delta connection guys.
I doubt a "good lesson or two in the sim" will get you through a type rating either. Why don't you read the garbage you write before you accuse me of exaggerating.
