Even with all the support of low timers that is out there the reason you give is an excellent one not to have them.

The plan isn't even on paper yet...its being considered. How many times has anything been considered at one of your airlines, the faa, etc...calm down, it'll be alright.
As shown above, its not the whole population of erau kids going to AT...20 a year in the class....and 20 won't make it for sure. It's not going to lower anything...its all PR to get kids to come to erau and to get passengers flying AT.

So..........AirTran won't hire 10,000+hr folks with thousands of hours of PIC flying Part 91 or 135 if they don't have 500 Part 121 PIC, but they'll hire no-time, no-experience ERAU wunderkids?
This is especially hard to believe knowing that AirTran has thousands of resumes on file from highly qualified pilots.
Source, PLEASE.

Have you been to Atlanta lately? Delta and Airtran have less than friendly marketing campaigns against each other. If Airtran gets their name in the news anywhere its a plus for them. Passengers don't care about low time just low fares, remember?

ERAU Bridge w/AirTran
Okay well it seems that everyone has a problem with low timers in the industry. Why does everyone have issues with them? They can pass the training then they can fly the jet, which obivuosly is being proven if 600 hour guys are at the regionals. We in the US seldom think about this but most European airlines and those in foreign countries hire pilots with extremely low amounts of flight time. It seems that this could be the case with the AirTran Bridge Program if it goes through at ERAU. That is a good deal for a low timer to be able to fly a jet. It says alot about the individual.
