JAL, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa and others have cadet style pilot programs. As a CFI in Anchorage on occasion I would try and check pilots out for rental who flew for those airlines. Most could not fly a small plane at all. One guy Could not even figure out how to land. All of them were a danger to the sky, But in the aircraft they were trained in and in an IFR environment I am sure that they were just fine.

One guy who flew for Lufthansa claimed that he only had 80 hours in a small plane.
