That’s actually a 2 year old program. However no one has ever gone through it. The problem is the agreement is broken because a 2500TT CFI just has zero experience flying a big jet. Why would someone stay being a CFI for that long when they can go to a regional when they reach ATP or rATP mins. Just doesn’t make sense and doesn’t help the airline keep it stocked with experience.
The only bridge program that’s really active is with the 1step prep people. It’s a preferential interview process if they complete it. They still have to meet our requirements and pass an interview. I don’t really agree with it as it deters is from us selecting our people. Plus why would you pay to get this job if you meet our requirements.
