Frankly, if you spend money on any of the above you are wasting your money...and none of the above will help you get to a major any quicker. You don't need to spend money on stupid pipe-dream programs like these to get a job. Everyone here will tell you the same thing too. Don't do it. Just get all your stuff and do some instructing. Sooner or later we will start hiring again.

As a civilian pilot in the US, you will typically need these qualifications to get a job (but no one is hiring right now anyway)...
Bussiness Jet: 2500 hours total time, 500 hours turbine, type rating in the aircraft in question.
Major Airline: 5000 hours total time, 1000+ hours turbine PIC, airline experience prefered.
Pilots in the US are not hired based on their training or school, they are hired based on their flight experience.

Are you speaking about FlightSafety?? If so, you don't pay for the Business Jet Direct route, they pay you.. Also, for the Airline route, you only sometimes pay a fraction of the cost, I heard the airline that is hiring you pays the other. Jet orientation is paid for by you.

For a corporate gig do you have to pay for your own type rating? I would imagine getting a type rating in any corporate aircraft would be expensive.
