One thing Downwind. HignTime Pilots would have had allready had to react to some sort of incident , accident, or situation ( experience), compared to the Abinitio 200 Hr Person. So there lies in the essential difference, nough said really.
But then again once hes been checked to line, hes ahead of the poor Bush pilot.
Cadet Schemes have generaly been the Mastermind of Captains who want to get there Sons and Daughters Jobs over the years, without their poor kids getting their hand dirty. Boys Club stuff really!
This is why these Schemes run Hot and Cold and are the first Programmes to get canned when the Bean Counters come running.
My 2 cents worth,
