So the resentment is quite understood, from my understanding JB wants the guys to learn the JB way from get go. Training at most schools is 6-7 months, JB training is 15+mos, then mandated 1500 hrs or 24mos at CAE whichever is LONGER, then class date for next available for FO training so about 5 yrs all together, similar to the regional path just about. If you did training at GA flight school, you'll be in regionals by year 3 then 4-5 yrs to major and that's a very optimistic outlook. This program saves you maybe 3-4 yrs half of which is spent on reserve and hot reserve at regional anyways. With most regionals now having flow thru to major without interview str8 class date, JB is simply gearing up to have a guaranteed pilot supply starting late 2021 and there on, 24 cadets per year and the rest hired from pool, 125k is a very hefty price tag but it's an investment in yourself just like you'd take a student loan for any specialized degree. There are pros and cons to every path and different opinions from different perspectives, I guess in 15 yrs the , now new cadets, would be resentful against cadets whose training would be sponsored by the airline and the, now older generation, cadets paid OOP. But I know this, going forward, this will be the way of training pilots, majors paying, bond signed for employment, pilot employed at regional and flow thru to major in 5 yrs or so. Gotta be !!
