I was looking at various airline sites and it seems that Singapore Airlines and Cathay offer cadet training.. i.e They train you for 15-17 months how to fly, then you become a pilot!
does this exist in the US? It seems that most of the carriers.. AA, United, etc don’t bother with training fresh meat and recruit for existing pilots.

US Carriers tend not to operate in that way at all. Rather, they have historically had greater or lesser associations with certain schools such as COMAIR and Flight Safety to provide Right-Hand-Seaters onto feederliner turboprop operations. Some of the output of those courses gets hired, many more are destined to languish as instructors whilst sending out resumés to anybody who’ll listen.
