All candidates have to be approved by our flight department. I would suggest looking into any career opportunities we may have in your area. Once you get on board with Piedmont you literally could be a part of the program barring approval right away."
Soooooooo....I can be a high-quality, motivated ramp agent who then is a contract-bound pilot for three years! Cool!

I got a friend that has 1300 total. She's applying to EWN to work the ramp part-time to build the extra 200 hours. She's hoping it works out for her and she's excited about saving a ton of money on flying. Ex-marine Helo Pilot looking to build on her fix wing time. She got her fingers crossed it works for her.
So it is appealing to someone I know actually.

Yes, it's a small offer that will help a hand full of pilots. But I'm sure the ones that can take advantage of it are excited as hell about saving a ton of money on flying.
Sure it won't help many and every regional is hiring so pick your airline and be happy.
