Anyway, all these tagged cadets (whether self sponsored or airline sponsored) will have less delay than whitetails.
Tagged cadets will go in front of whitetails. Because there is a huge pressure from the airline. There is very probably a penalty if L3 is late in delivering an airline cadet. And we're not talking 35£ per week. Rather 35£ per hour.
Unless you work in the finance department at L3 CTS you dont know what EZY pay L3 for each cadet that they source. L3 when you boil it down are acting as a recruitment agency, and that costs money whatever industry you are in. Don’t forget the “Security Bond” is “Transferred” to the airline, and all the interest goes elsewhere over those 7 years that it is repaid. The airline will also save on the difference in NI contributions / taxes / pension contributions because your salary is reduced and then topped up by the bond payments. Its safe to say that easyjet have a significant financial interest in each and every cadet.

Right now there are cadets in L3 with HK Airlines, Jeststar Asia, Royal Bruni, Virgin, IndiGo, easyJet, BA, the L3 instructor course, Singapore Airlines, Air France, Oman Air and probably a few more. Each airline has a financial interest in each cadet and each airline will be affected by the delays in some way. It is understandable why the White tail courses get larger delays than the airline courses.
