There's a big difference between GIA and other training programs: unsuspecting passengers are brought along for the ride, and they don't know that there's a student pilot in the cockpit when they buy the ticket.
When an apprentice cuts your hair or a high school auto shop fixes your car, you're fully aware, and you get a significant discount for the risk. With GIA, you buy a ticket on Continental and, unless you're in this industry, you have no idea that the copilots for this airline are paying customers.
