Of course they like it. Lowering the bar in terms of experience creates more of an available supply of labor, which in turn means they don't have to shell out more $$$ to attract qualified pilots.
You need to tread very carefully here, bro. Don't come on here to brag and gloat about how exclusive and elite your flight school claims to be and all of that non sense. No offense to your special program with UA, but you and the others presented with similar opportunities are no more special than any other group of pilots preceding you. You all just happened to be born in the right decade.
And before everyone starts singing the praises of ab-initio airline training, don't forget that U.S. carriers used to do something similar to this decades ago but simply have not had to do this in recent times due to the existing availability of qualified pilots. Good for you if this works out, but be humble about it and realize this is purely excellent timing and has about zero to do with your piloting abilities.
Carry on
