I don't see it as much about being able to teach people, but more so about providing an incentive to these newly trained people to work hard and produce a quality product.

I don't know what other employment opportunties exist in that area, but I can't imagine it being terribly difficult to find a job that pays at least $14 an hour. I see this leading to a fairly high turnover rate, and a high turnover rate in airplane construction cannot be a good thing.
