The United program is very similar to the Lufthansa program. They screen cadets, send them through the school. They then instruct at the school until they reach the minimums, then on to United....
Look at the Lufthansa program. It has worked for them for years.
Where did the CFI only get his 1000 turbine PIC? As that's listed as a basic qual on their hiring page legally I don't think they can negate that regardless of the program. Not trying to call B/S, as if this is real it'd help this industry a ton. I know many foreign carriers have had tons of success with programs like this, be cool to have it over here.
