I thank god that my sons eyesight is not good enough for him to consider a career as a pilot. I cannot think of any other profession which has been so degraded over the last few decades.
I hope you iCadets know what you are in for. The P2X rating is worthless,you can only log a few hours of the thousands of hours sitting in the seat in the cruise trying to stay awake when you REALLY want to sleep, & you will be an S/O for 6-10 years I'd say all of which gains you NO credit for getting ANY other flying job. You will be living in the smallest rathole flat known to man & yet you will have no disposible income even if you are single & un-attached.It will be a subsistence existence for your entire time in CX.
CX have been shoving the bat up the arse of its pilots for quite some time now but the iCadet program enlarges the size of the bat ten-fold.
DO NOT SAY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED.

An aviation career handed to you on a silver platter,no training bond,only 3 months notice if you wish to leave. If you want expat perks then go & work in the sandpit,or the cesspit

Wait a minute, he might be mine. When I first read the caption, I thought it said "Worlds Oldest Profession". Must be something to do with my eyesight, but for sure I would be earning more money that way. :}
