It was to offer two paths; one being the traditional move up, hold command positions, staff, blah both blah traditional route and the other was geared to letting the flyers be flyers over the course of their career. It seemed like a real way to address the issue seen in your industry is moving up means moving away from hit flight line.
I had heard from buddies that it tanked but that it was doomed from the beginning. It was offered on a limited scall to a small group of people. When the offer was officially made, some didn't trust that they wouldn't be punished for volunteering. Couple that with the fact that most would rather get out anyway and you have a coffin that is fully nailed shut for that program.
As always, take this with a large grain of salt. My info came a long way down through the grapevine.
