Or perhaps the sim training could become a part of the program and upon completion of the check ride the cadet would also be ready for IOE.

The benefit to the cadet would be a more predictable future and immediate transition into their career field.

The benefits to the employer is access to a constant supply of pre-screened cadets that are instantly slaves to your company since their training is company specific and because they are in debt to the company for the student loans. They also pay for most of their own training.

If the costs continue to skyrocket for pilot training and wages remain low. The MCL could rapidly take over the industry as the norm.
