This thread still has the same theme: those who know about CX and the international airline scene argue against it, those who haven't a clue or seek C-Scale as a good thing & argue to defend their ignorance, those so immature and ignorant ask the same questions
Not exactly true is it China? When you posted something on the main fragrant harbour page plenty of pilots wrote about their understanding of the cadet program as a good opportunity for young people who have an interest in aviation to follow their dreams, to be honest it's only Cpt Underpants and Dan Buster that post in here, not really a broad opinion is it? Boxerpilot has made his choice and seems to be enjoying it, PPRuNe has a reputation of being a place to vent your frustration about Cathay which is why most of the pilots here (cadets included) are not very pro-cathay. Talk to some cadets and pilots in real life and you'll find out that yes, there are some that are not happy with the company because they have done something to them in the past but the vast majority of them are quite happy with the company and their jobs. Sure there are people on here that really do not deserve to even apply because they are so uninterested/lazy but there are also those who deserve to get into a program that is one of the best in the world for realising a dream and getting a pilots job, there are so many pilots that even after their training do not have jobs and when your training is paid for and you get a guaranteed job at the end, who is going to say no?
