The Airman Trainee program is a great deal for any pilot who does not have the minimum hours needed for an ATP certificate yet. You apply the same as you would for FO and interview for it. The interview is much easier with a shorter test and no technical portion.

If your accepted in then you will onboard and become an employee. Your job is at the beginning of the month to report how your hours are coming and to call and check in. At the end of the month you log in and do an online training (normally takes 20 minutes). For this, they pay you $100 a month and you get non-rev rights for you and your family (currently with American, not sure what will happen when the switch is made to United).

There is no commitment to AirWis. If you decide to go a different direction you give two weeks notice and can walk away. If during the program you go to AirWis's CTP course then you will incur an obligation at that point.

All and all it is a great deal if you still need to build hours. If you already have your hours then they are going to interview you for FO and the ATP is not an option.
