Being trained from day 1 as an airline pilot is great, if all you ever do is fly airlines. But what happens when sh*t really hits the fan? crm goes out the window when the captain is dead because some kind of huge bird came through the windscreen. Somehow it also affected the autopilot. What now? You actually have to fly the airplane, and do everything yourself, not call for the things you want. Every airline pilot should have a good foundation of basic stick and rudder, seat of the pants flying to fall back on, just in case. You will NOT gte that kind of training in some "fast track" airline program.
