I don't believe any students from the first wave that are now CFI's from the CAE training center have gone on to FO quite yet. Is that correct? Seems like they would be staying CFI's a while longer if that is the case.
Plus, unless they put JetBlue on a pedestal, it doesn't seem to really jumpstart their career outside of B6. One big factor is they miss out on essential TPIC time and experience from regional flying.
