At least from what little is mentioned (and what very little I know on the subject), this sounds like a terrible way to become a commercial pilot. If you can't go a more traditional route like military or Embry-Riddle, it seems like an airline in the developing world would by far be the most fun. I think Susi Air was hiring/training foreign pilots with little to no prior experience, though due to new legislation I believe there is now a 250hr requirement.
Edit: I double-checked and there is now a 750hr requirement for foreign pilots. What a bummer as there used to be opportunities for 0hr's in Indo.
