The above post is spot on. It's a training program for intelligent, highly motivated pilots. It's pretty rare, in my opinion, for a company to take low time regional FO's and essentially turn them into wide body CA's almost overnight. But the training program is setup to do just that. I know of 3 XJT FO's and 1 XJT CA that have come here in the last 3 months. All successful. I would say at least half of each class or more are regional pilots (both FO's and CA's). I asked about this and the answer was pretty simple: they work their butt off in training and they have a good attitude.
