I’m not sure how long you’ve been in aviation but these programs come and go all the time to legacy carriers.

If t matures into something that gets you into mainline right away bypassing regional flying, it will be only for a very small percentage of mainline classes and likely only going to be some high caliber youngens or very well connected through daddy who is a check airman at mainline.

This is absolutely nothing new and simply a recycled idea with new marketing.
