Thousands of CFIs have completed regional training without problems. Legacy (domestic) flying is the same as regional flying. There is zero good reasons for CFIs to fail legacy training.
DLH, BAW, KLM all have similar safety records to the legacy carriers.
As far as who are easiest to train for the legacy, multiple studies have shown regional FOs are the best followed by military, followed by reverse seniority sorted regional captains. The longer you have been captain, the harder you are to train.

Especially the part about long time captains having less success than F/O’s. Based on my personal experience I’m calling bovine scatology on that one.
In my experience non airline/military/corporate, low time guys always have the biggest issues in training. Followed distantly by single seat attack guys who’ve never seen an FMC. Especially low time GA guys who don’t have any significant jet time.
The reason being simply that they are not familiar with the speed that stuff happens in a jet. They don’t have any meaningful multi crew experience and they have not flown in high density, high traffic, complicated airspace. Everything is new for them.
I’ve seldom had a problem with experienced regional/military/corporate/heavy GA charter guys. Captain or F/O.
I’m not saying they can’t be trained but our current training footprint is not tailored to a complete newb to jet transport flying in high density airspace.

U2 Friend?
May I ask what your friend did next, where he landed? I am in a similar boat.

This statement does not mirror my personal experience in training people from various backgrounds. I’d sure like to know where you are getting this data from?

I don’t know about the training issues, but give me a prior captain any time for day to day line flying. The more PIC the better.
