Worth noting that a few people are mentioning the poor treatment of L3 cadets in New Zealand on Twitter. There was a plan to repatriate some cadets with UK FCO saying all nationals to return home if possible, think L3 found it unaffordable despite their big profit margins, instead now clearways is packed with 150+ cadets all sharing facilities. Is that worth £100k+?
As one of the cadets currently out here in NZ, we are actually being well looked after. Initially we were having to repatriate as it was uncertain whether Clearways was allowed to stay open and so we would have no place to stay in NZ. Once it was confirmed by the NZ government that Clearways was an essential part of the business, site staff were then allowed to work on site which means we could stay here. I'd say the management out here in NZ have done their very best to look after us in what was a fast moving situation. L3 in the UK on the other hand should be ashamed of themselves for staying open.
