I heard of a situation like this. A company loved a guy performing line service duties for them. He had a PPL.

They paid to finish his training and type him in the company jet.

After that they realized there was an oversight. Every other pilot they had was brought up in a conventional manner and deserved to be there. Consequently, they all refused to fly with him.

By that point his line service job was filled and he was then out on the street with a fancy new type rating and not even 300 hours TT
