Low time programs can work, like they do at Lufthansa, but not when the US was doing zero screening other than who can sign a loan. If one is going to be low timer, they need to be A game candidates. Eg, no failures, busts, high marks in school and college, etc.
Half the folks I saw at jetU were people who shouldn’t have been there.
Having no failure/bust does not make one a better pilot. Most of the people that I've flown next to in a Cessna/Piper (aka real stick and rudder flying compared to what you currently do). Had one or more failures/bust and were better pilots for it in the long run and were more humble, better listeners and teachable as a result. Some of the worst pilots I've flown with in GA have had zero failures and have never been challenged, were arrogant, unable to accept feedback, etc. Or had horrible really horrible ADM. Of course this is just been my actual experience, YMMV. You're VERY opinionated when it comes to a lot of things in aviation, but that's just your opinion and not actual facts.
